Tips for short-haul flights to Packwood

  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often the most cost-effective option. Maximize your space by using travel-sized toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating your outfits thoughtfully. This strategy also helps you avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may not provide in-flight entertainment. To keep yourself entertained, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts beforehand, and consider bringing a book along. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for shorter or domestic flights, it’s wise to get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure, taking traffic and security lines into account.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, 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 available.
