Maximize your space by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning your outfits wisely. 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. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself occupied. 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 reach the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, allowing for traffic and security lines.

• Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security checks, 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. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and readily available.
• Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to synchronize your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
