• Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to allow sufficient time for check-in, security screening, and immigration procedures.

• Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to sync your body clock by changing your watch and modifying your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
