Maximize your space by packing travel-sized toiletries, donning your heaviest clothing, and coordinating your outfits effectively. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
• Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights do not provide in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself occupied, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book. And remember to charge your devices fully 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 before your departure, taking into account potential 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—aim to be at the airport 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 spare time, take the opportunity to browse 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.
• Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin syncing your body clock by setting your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination’s time zone. Try to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
