Do you have a morning flight coming up? Discover the best travel tips on how to prepare for an early morning flight. Get ready for a perfect vacation!

How to Prepare for an Early Morning Flight- arrive early at airport

Sometimes, early flights are the ideal option. They often come with lower prices and give you more time at your destination. After all, when you board at sunrise, you’ll have more time to explore your vacation spot than if you flew out midday or in the evening. However, leaving early often means navigating the airport and feeling sleepy, so keeping yourself ready is critical. Learn more about how to prepare for an early morning flight so that you remain comfortable while in the sky.

How to Prepare for an Early Morning Flight- begin the night before

When you have a morning flight, it’s best to get everything ready the night before so that you can wake up and leave without unnecessary stress. Check in online the day before your flight and print off your boarding pass; keep all necessary travel documents in your wallet. If you plan to bring snacks on the plane, put them in a small bag and place them in an easily accessible pocket of your carry-on luggage.

Pro Tip: You should schedule a ride to the airport no later than the night before you leave. That way, you won’t be worrying all night about needing to do it first thing in the morning – one less thing to worry about!

How to Prepare for an Early Morning Flight: Get to Bed and Wake Up Early

How to Prepare for an Early Morning Flight- get to bed early

Since you’ll have to wake up early in the morning, try getting to bed as soon as you can the evening before. Getting enough sleep helps you maintain a clear head and prevents you from feeling too sleepy once you arrive at your destination. 

Set your alarm clock for a time that’s early enough for you to get ready and travel to the airport. This time differs for all people and depends on how long you typically take to prepare. If you plan to eat breakfast and drink some coffee at home, you’ll need more time than you would if you ate at the airport. You may also want to set an alarm for when you need to leave the house to keep yourself on schedule.

How to Prepare for an Early Morning Flight: Wear Comfy Clothes

How to Prepare for an Early Morning Flight- wear comfortable clothing

Comfort is key when you’re sitting for several hours, so pick out cozy clothing. It’s best to dress in light layers that you can add or remove depending on the temperature on the plane.

Accessories can pose a small issue when moving through airport security. If you wear a belt, consider choosing one with a plastic buckle. One of the top benefits of traveling-friendly belts is that, thanks to the plastic buckle, you don’t need to remove it at TSA. The faster you get through security, the sooner you can relax at your airline gate.

Pro Tip: Lay your travel outfit out the night before so that you don’t have to waste time deciding what you’ll wear.

How to Prepare for an Early Morning Flight: Arrive Early at the Airport

The final tip for making an early morning flight is to get to the airport well before boarding time. Most seasoned travelers recommend getting to the airport at least two hours before your domestic flight, even if it’s early in the morning. Leaving your house several hours early also accounts for any traffic you may encounter on the road. By giving yourself enough time, you’ll start your vacation in a relaxed mindset and feel ready to have fun!
