Maximize space by opting for mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothes, and planning your outfits wisely. This strategy also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for short or domestic flights, it's advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours before departure, taking into account traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to keep hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights. This will give you ample time for check-in, security procedures, and immigration.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, find a coffee shop, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge, if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi that you can easily connect to.
  • 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 either sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
