  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may not provide in-flight entertainment options. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts beforehand and consider bringing a book to keep yourself occupied. Remember to fully charge your devices prior to boarding.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it’s wise to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours before departure, allowing for traffic and security delays.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, 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. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
