Optimize your packing by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating outfits effectively. 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—even for short or 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.
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 complimentary seat selection once online check-in begins, typically 24–48 hours before your flight. Some airlines may allow seat selection even earlier.
Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make it a point to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights, allowing ample time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
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 Wi-Fi for your convenience.
