Flying from Charlotte soon? A little preparation can make the airport experience much easier. If your airline offers online check-in, completing it before you leave home can save time, especially if you only have a carry-on.

If you are checking a bag, arrive with your ID, boarding pass, and travel documents ready. Giving yourself around two hours for a domestic flight and about three hours for an international trip is a good way to avoid unnecessary rushing.

Once you have checked in and dropped your luggage, head through security and confirm your gate on the airport screens. Gates and flight information can change, so it is worth checking again before settling in.

A few extra minutes of planning can make the whole start of your trip feel much more relaxed.
