  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it’s advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking into account potential traffic and security lines.

Some airlines may offer the option to select seats even earlier.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to reach the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights to ensure you have enough time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to explore the stores, visit a coffee shop, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports provide free and accessible Wi-Fi.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin syncing your body clock by changing your watch and sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Try to sleep or remain awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help mitigate jet lag.
