Tips for short-haul flights to Nakano

For quick getaways, efficiency is key. Here is how to make your short-haul journey smoother:

  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, it's often more cost-effective to travel with just a carry-on. Maximize space by packing travel-sized toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and coordinating outfits thoughtfully. This also allows you to bypass the baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may not provide in-flight entertainment. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself occupied. Remember to fully charge your devices 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.

  • Select your seat in advance—for longer flights, choosing your seat is essential for comfort. Full-service airlines often provide free seat selection once online check-in opens, typically 24–48 hours before your flight. Some airlines allow you to select your seat even earlier.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to be at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to ensure you have enough time for check-in, security, and immigration.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take a moment 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 and accessible Wi-Fi.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin syncing your body clock by changing your watch and sleep schedule to correspond with your destination's time zone. Aim to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help mitigate jet lag.
