Preparing for Departure: What to Know Before Heading to the Airport
To ensure a smooth and stress-free flight, keep these tips in mind before departing:
- Arrival Time:
- Domestic Flights: Arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before departure.
- International Flights: Arrive at least 3 hours early to allow time for check-in, security, and passport control.
- Check-In:
- Online Check-In: Most airlines allow check-in 24 hours before departure—use it to save time and choose your seat.
- Baggage Drop: Even with online check-in, allow time to drop off checked luggage.
- Note: Airline baggage fees are not included in airfare pricing or all-inclusive trip plans. Travelers are responsible for any checked or carry-on baggage charges at check-in.
- Documents:
- Bring your passport (for international travel), boarding pass, travel itinerary, and any required visas or vaccination records.
- Keep a digital and printed copy of important documents.
- Security Screening:
- Be ready to remove laptops, liquids (under 100ml, in a clear bag), and metal items.
- Wear easy-to-remove shoes for faster screening.
- Travel Light & Smart:
- Pack essentials in your carry-on (medications, chargers, ID, valuables).
- Check baggage allowances and weight limits in advance.
- Monitor Your Flight:
- Check for flight updates via the airline’s app or airport website to stay informed of delays or gate changes.
Arriving early and prepared helps ensure a relaxed start to your journey.
