This approach also helps you avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time and consider bringing a book to keep yourself engaged. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to ensure you have enough time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
