Reach the airport at least 2-3 hours early to avoid last-minute rush and ensure a smooth check-in and security process.
Carry your passport, ID, flight ticket, and visa (if needed) in a pouch or travel folder to avoid panic during check-in.
Avoid overpacking. Stick to essentials, and keep your carry-on within airline size and weight limits.
Wear layered, breathable clothing and comfy shoes to stay relaxed during long flights and airport movement.
Know the 100ml liquid rule and remove electronics at security. Be prepared to remove shoes if required.
Drink enough water before and during the flight. Avoid heavy meals to feel fresh and prevent bloating in air.
Check in online and download your boarding pass to skip long lines and head straight to security.
Pay attention to gate changes and flight calls. Follow airport signs to avoid getting lost.
Load up your phone or tablet with music, movies, or books, and carry a power bank for long waiting hours.
If confused, ask airport staff or fellow travelers. It’s normal to need help during your first flight.
