Optimize space by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and coordinating your outfits effectively. This strategy 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—even for short or domestic flights, it’s advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking into account traffic and security lines.

Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim 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 extra time, feel free to explore the shops, visit a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
