Maximize your space by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and coordinating your outfits efficiently. This strategy also helps you bypass the baggage claim wait upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may not provide in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself occupied, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book. Don't forget to fully charge your devices before you board.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to reach the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to ensure you have enough time for check-in, security, and immigration.
