Maximize your packing by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating your outfits. This approach also helps you avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage claim after your flight.
  • 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 to keep yourself occupied. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have 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 available.
