Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to reach the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to account for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take a moment to browse the shops, visit 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.
Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin syncing your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Try to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help mitigate jet lag.
