Maximize space by opting for mini toiletries, dressing in your bulkiest clothing, and coordinating your outfits efficiently. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself engaged, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive 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 time permits, take the opportunity to explore the shops, enjoy a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge, if available. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and easy to access.
