Maximize space by using travel-sized toiletries, wearing your bulkiest apparel, and coordinating your outfits efficiently. This approach also helps you avoid the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. Download 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—aim to be at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights. This allows sufficient time for check-in, security screening, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
