  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights do not provide in-flight entertainment options. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts in advance, 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 arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking traffic and security lines into account.

Some airlines may permit seat selection even earlier than this.

  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, find a coffee shop, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is usually free and readily available.
