Maximize space by using travel-sized toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning your outfits wisely. This approach also helps you avoid the wait at baggage claim when you arrive at your destination.

  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to ensure you have enough time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
