This strategy also helps you avoid the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights. This allows sufficient time for check-in, security procedures, and immigration.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, visit a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is usually free and readily available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin acclimating your body clock by setting your watch and altering your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
