Tips for short-haul flights to Tilden

Optimize space by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating outfits. This strategy also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights might not provide in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself engaged, 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, it's advisable to get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to your departure, taking into account possible traffic and security lines.
Bring your own snacks and water—pack your favorite snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated while saving money at the airport.

Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to be 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 a stroll through 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.
