Save space by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest items, and coordinating your outfits efficiently. This also allows you to avoid the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. To stay engaged, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts beforehand, and consider bringing a book. Remember to fully charge your devices prior to boarding.
  • 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 before your departure, accounting for traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to ensure you stay hydrated and save money at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to be 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 some extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or 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 to sync your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
