Confirming documents, baggage, check-in and airport transport early reduces flight-day problems.
Verify the booking
Check the date, departure airport, terminal, flight number and baggage allowance.
Complete check-in
Use online check-in when available and keep the boarding pass accessible in more than one way.
Plan airport arrival
Allow for traffic, security and immigration. Follow the current guidance from the airline and airport.
Review baggage rules
Confirm size, weight, liquids, batteries, medication and special-equipment restrictions for the route.
Prepare for connections
Check terminal changes, baggage collection and transit-entry requirements.
⚠ Note: Airline, airport and border rules change. Recheck official information shortly before travel.
