Maximize space by packing travel-sized toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating your outfits. This strategy also helps you avoid the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book for extra entertainment. Be sure to fully charge your devices before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—it's advisable to reach the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your flight, even for short or domestic journeys, to account for traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to reach the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have additional time, explore the shops, find a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
