  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to ensure you have 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 at a café, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi, which is usually easy to connect to.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin acclimating your body clock by setting your watch and modifying your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Aim to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your destination to help minimize jet lag.
