If you don’t put your essential documents into your carryon bag and instead choose to dedicate a small bag just for them, you will increase the chances of you losing them.

We know that it is more convenient to have them all in one separate bag; however, you forget that the more bags you carry, the more confusion you will be in. You could easily leave the small bag in a taxi or on a chair at the airport. Be consistent; use one bag!

Forgetting to Show Up Early in the Airport

Getting to the airport in advance is essential. You will have to perform your check-in and go through airport security. All of that takes time, especially if the airport is crowded. Plan your trip to the airport in advance. Don’t leave anything for chance.

If you’re the bus company in your city has a special line for the airport, make sure to use that. If for some reason that line got canceled, call an Uber, but do it early.

Failing to Manage Time

Showing up at the airport early is important, but showing up there very early can leave you feeling bored. The recommended window is to show up 2 to 3 hours before boarding time; however, that in itself can be excessive if the airport isn’t crowded on the day of your flight.
