Maximize space by opting for mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning your outfits wisely. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
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 entertained. 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 snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

Select your seat in advance—for longer flights, choosing your seat is essential for comfort. Full-service airlines often allow free seat selection once online check-in opens, typically 24–48 hours prior to your flight. Some airlines may provide the option to select your seat even earlier.
Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim 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 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 readily available.
Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin aligning your body clock by changing your watch and sleep schedule to correspond with your destination's time zone. Try to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
