“One common mistake is not preparing properly for the airport experience ― not giving yourself enough time, not having your documents and IDs ready, not organizing your liquids properly,” mentioned journey blogger Esther Susag. “This adds unnecessary stress.”

Even although quick flights really feel like much less of a giant deal, they’re nonetheless a part of the everyday airport and airplane expertise.

“My tips are to get to the airport early, have everything ready to go through security smoothly, bring an empty water bottle to fill after clearing security, download entertainment like movies/shows/podcasts, and dress in layers for varying cabin temperatures,” Susag added. “Also, I always double-check my carry-on and personal items for loose liquids that could get me flagged.”
