Maximize your luggage space by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and coordinating your outfits. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim once you arrive.
  • Bring your own entertainment—short-haul flights frequently lack in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself engaged, download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book. Be sure 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 get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking into account potential traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

Some airlines may provide the option to select seats even earlier than this.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to reach 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 find yourself with 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 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. Aim to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival location to help minimize jet lag.
