Maximize your packing efficiency by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating outfits ahead of time. This approach also allows you to bypass the baggage claim line upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—short-haul flights frequently lack in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself engaged, download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts before you fly, and consider bringing a book. Be sure to fully charge your devices prior to boarding.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for both short and domestic flights, it’s advisable to get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours before departure, accounting for potential traffic and security delays.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and carry a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money during your time at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to reach the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to ensure sufficient time for check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, enjoy a coffee at a café, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and readily available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin syncing your internal clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
