Optimize your packing by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and coordinating outfits effectively. This approach also allows you to bypass 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 prior to departure, taking traffic and security lines into account.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack your own snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay 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 departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take a stroll through the stores, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to align your body clock by changing your watch and sleep schedule to correspond with your destination's time zone. Aim to sleep or stay awake on the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
