Maximize your space by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and thoughtfully planning your outfits. This approach also helps you avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage claim upon arrival.

Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it's advisable to get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure, taking into account traffic and security lines.

Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
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 a departure lounge, if available. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi that you can easily access.
