Tips for short-haul flights to Retiro

  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often more cost-effective. Optimize your packing by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating your outfits. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself engaged. Be sure to charge your devices fully 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 prior to departure, taking into account traffic 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.

  • 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, generally 24–48 hours before your flight. Some airlines may provide the option to select seats even earlier.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights, allowing ample time for check-in, security screening, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, find a cozy coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin syncing your body clock by changing your watch and modifying your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Try to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time of your arrival to help minimize jet lag.
