Maximize your space by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating your outfits. This strategy also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
• Bring your own entertainment—short-haul flights frequently lack in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself occupied, download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book. Remember to charge your devices fully before you board.
• Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for even short or domestic flights, it’s advisable to reach the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking into account potential traffic and security lines.

• Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to reach the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights, allowing sufficient time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
• Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, enjoy a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free and accessible Wi-Fi.
• Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin aligning your body clock by setting your watch and modifying your sleep schedule to correspond with your destination's time zone.
