Maximize your space by selecting mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating outfits efficiently. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—short-haul flights frequently lack in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself engaged, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing along a book. Remember to charge your devices fully before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for both short and domestic flights, it’s advisable to get to the airport 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 some snacks and a refillable water bottle.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours before 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 your gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin acclimating your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
