Maximize space by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and planning versatile outfits. This approach also helps you avoid 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 entertained. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for even short or domestic flights, it's wise to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure, allowing for potential 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.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights to ensure ample time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
