Maximize space by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and planning your outfits thoughtfully. This approach also allows you to avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may not provide in-flight entertainment. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and bring along a book to keep yourself engaged. Remember to fully charge your devices before boarding.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it's advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, considering traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated while saving money at the airport.

  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with 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.
