Maximize space by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and planning outfits thoughtfully. This approach also helps you avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage claim upon arrival.
Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights might not provide in-flight entertainment. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself occupied. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.
Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it's wise to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, allowing for traffic and security lines.
Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
Relax at the airport—if you have some time to spare, take a moment to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
