  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to be at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.

  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin the process of syncing your body clock by setting your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
