Maximize your space by packing mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and planning your outfits wisely. This approach also eliminates the need to wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may not provide 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.
