Tips for short-haul flights to Velankanni

Maximize space by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning your outfits efficiently. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
• Bring your own entertainment—short-haul flights frequently 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 occupied. Remember to charge your devices fully before you board.
• Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for short or domestic flights, it's advisable to get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure, taking into account potential traffic and security lines.

Some airlines may permit seat selection even earlier than this.
• Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
• Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is usually free and available.
