  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. Download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts beforehand, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself entertained. Remember to fully charge your devices prior to boarding.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for even short or domestic flights, it's advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure time, allowing for traffic and security lines.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—ensure you arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your international flight's departure to allow ample time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
