  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge, if accessible. Most airports provide free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin the process of syncing your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
