Maximize your space by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning your outfits strategically. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim once you arrive.
Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself entertained. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.
Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for domestic or short flights, it’s advisable to get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours before departure, taking into account traffic delays and security lines.

Select your seat in advance—for longer flights, choosing the right seat is essential for your comfort. Full-service airlines typically allow free seat selection once online check-in opens, which is usually 24–48 hours before your flight. Some airlines may permit seat selection even earlier.
Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, enjoy a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi that you can easily access.
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 of your arrival to help minimize jet lag.
