Maximize your space by using travel-sized toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating outfits efficiently. This also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may not provide 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—even for short or domestic flights, it's advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking into account traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and cut down on expenses at the airport.

Some airlines may provide the option to select seats even earlier.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights to allow ample time for check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is usually free and readily 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 in accordance with the local time of your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
