Maximize your space by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating outfits ahead of time. This approach also helps you bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself engaged, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts prior to your trip, and consider bringing a book as well. 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 before your departure, taking into account traffic conditions and security lines.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to reach the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge, if available. Most airports offer free and accessible Wi-Fi.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin synchronizing your body clock by changing your watch and modifying your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
