Tips for short-haul flights to Peru

For quick getaways, efficiency is key. Here is how to make your short-haul journey smoother:

• Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often more economical. Maximize your packing by using mini toiletries, wearing your largest items, and coordinating outfits efficiently. This also allows you to avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage claim upon arrival.
• Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights do not provide in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself occupied, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and be sure to bring a book. 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 before your departure, taking into account traffic conditions 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.

Flying long-haul sometimes requires extra planning to ensure a comfortable journey:

• Select your seat in advance—for longer flights, choosing your seat is essential for comfort. Full-service airlines typically allow free seat selection once online check-in opens, usually 24–48 hours before your flight. Some airlines may even offer seat selection earlier than this.
• Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to ensure you have enough 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, visit a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
• Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin syncing your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Aim to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
