This strategy also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights might not provide 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 fully charge your devices before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for both short and domestic flights, it's advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking into account potential traffic and security lines.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to be at the airport at least 3 hours prior to your departure for international flights, allowing sufficient time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, visit a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and widely available.
