Maximize your space by bringing mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest garments, and coordinating your 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 ensure you're entertained, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book. Remember to charge your devices fully before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for short or domestic flights, it's advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking into account traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—to stay hydrated and save money at the airport, pack your own snacks and carry a refillable water bottle.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have spare time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Free airport Wi-Fi is typically available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin syncing your body clock by changing your watch and sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Try to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your destination to help minimize jet lag.
