Make the right packing

When we are traveling by flight, the airline is very specific about the luggage. First of all, according to the weather where you are going, plan about what things you are going to need. Also, check with the airline as to what weight it is allowing to load the luggage. All airlines have different rules for domestic and international routes. There are also some lists that can be packed in check in bags but not in hand bags, follow that list too. If your baggage weighs more than the weight mentioned in the airlines' guidelines, you can pay for excess baggage at the airport and fly with excess baggage.

Necessary Documents

Be sure to carry the right documents with you at the airport. It is very important to carry the right documents to the airport, otherwise you cannot enter without them. You will definitely carry the necessary documents for domestic travel, as well as you can take documents related to foreign travel outside the country.

Arrive Before Time

Reach the airport before the flight's timing, in this way neither you will have to rush nor will you miss anything. Also, most importantly, you will not get stuck in traffic. Check-in counters usually open 2-4 hours before departure, it would be in your best interest if you reach early and make it through without any hassle.
