  • 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 consider taking a book to keep yourself engaged. Remember 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 arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to your departure, accounting for traffic and security lines.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—plan to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to account for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, find a coffee shop, 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 acclimating your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
