Book as early as possible: To get the best price and avoid sold-out situations, you should not "jump when the water reaches your feet" but should book tickets as early as possible.

Review the information and flight schedule: This is a very necessary step to avoid missing your flight. A few days before the flight, you should check your information and flight schedule on the airline's app or website. This will help you avoid confusion about the flight time, arrange your time more reasonably, and grasp the necessary information.
Check luggage and personal documents: This is also an extremely important thing to do before you set off for the airport. You need to check all your personal documents and necessary luggage to avoid trouble and make the trip go more smoothly.
