Maximize your space by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating outfits efficiently. This approach also helps you bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights might not provide in-flight entertainment. To stay occupied, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and don’t forget to bring a book. Make sure to charge your devices fully before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it's wise to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure, considering potential traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack your favorite snacks and a refillable water bottle to keep hydrated and save money at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim 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 extra time, take the opportunity to explore 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 readily available.
