Optimize your packing by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating outfits effectively. This approach also helps you avoid waiting at the baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. Download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time and include a book to keep yourself engaged. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.

  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money during your time at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to 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, enjoy a coffee at a café, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
