  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights might not provide in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself occupied, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, aim to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure time, taking into account traffic and potential security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money at the airport.

Some airlines may permit seat selection even earlier than this.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, visit a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi that is easy to connect to.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin syncing your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Aim to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time of your arrival to help minimize jet lag.
