  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack snacks and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to reach the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security screening, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some 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. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to align your body clock by setting your watch and adapting your sleep schedule to your destination's time zone. Aim to either sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time of your arrival to help minimize jet lag.
