I’m positive I’m not the one one who has eagerly booked an early morning flight, considering it’ll be nice to reach early and have a full day in my vacation spot. These early morning flights are often cheaper too so I really feel like I’ve acquired a double winner with a cut price flight and an additional day on vacation!
Sure, they appear like a good suggestion! A 6am flight doesn’t appear too early…proper? However you then think about that you must get to the airport 2 hours early…and it takes an hour to get there…and also you need 20 minutes as a ‘simply in case’ buffer…and 20 minutes to prepare…
Yea, you’re getting up fairly early for that 6am flight!
However worry not, I’ve acquired some tricks to make the early morning flight a little bit simpler and belief me once I say that it’s completely value it!
1. Have your early morning flight outfit laid out prepared
Simplify your morning by having your flight outfit laid out and able to go. Even when what you’re carrying, simply get it out.
There’s nothing worse than realising the highest you needed to put on is soiled when it’s 2am and all of your different t-shirts are already packed in your suitcase.
I’m a fan of retaining my aircraft outfit tremendous easy and I at all times put on my favorite leggings and a comfortable hoodie with a cap and girls’s working trainers.
2. Have all the things packed and able to go
It goes with out saying, proper? Ensure that your luggage are totally packed earlier than you go to mattress!
Journey Hack Tip: Should you’re the form of one that panics they’ve forgotten one thing, maintain reminding your self that each one you actually want is your:
- Passport
- Telephone (with Apple Pay or Google Pay)
- Telephone charger + plug adaptor
3. Make in a single day oats
Should you’re the form of one that must eat as quickly as they rise up then make in a single day oats. It’s a easy, wholesome and scrumptious breakfast that truly tastes higher when it’s been chilling within the fridge for just a few hours.
I often make this in a disposable tub (get them on Amazon) and eat it as soon as I get to the airport.
I make my in a single day oats by mixing a banana with milk, vanilla protein powder and greek yoghurt. I then add my oats and pop them right into a pot with some berries and honey on high and that is so good for the morning!
I like Joe Wicks in a single day oats recipes. They really feel so indulgent however they’re actually filling and wholesome – simply what you want if you’ve acquired an enormous day forward!
4. Have your espresso pot prepared
Should you can’t depart the home with out a espresso, get all the things prepared so you can also make it as rapidly as potential. I often put my espresso right into a flask so I can drink it on the best way to the airport.
5. Have your big water bottle prepared
You’ll be able to’t fly with out a big water bottle! I prefer to fill mine with iced water and maintain it within the fridge prepared for the morning. I then try to drink all of it earlier than I’m going by means of airport safety so no less than I’m starting my journey hydrated. I’ll refill it once more at a fountain or espresso store on the airport.
6. Triple verify your airport journey preparations
Verify, verify and verify once more.
- What time is your flight?
- Are you checked in to your flight?
- Do you must print something out or is the app OK?
- Which terminal are you flying from?
- Is your taxi or airport parking confirmed?

That is probably the most annoying factor to do earlier than a vacation (when you’ve gotten 1,000,000 different issues to do already) nevertheless it’s additionally probably the most rewarding. There’s nothing higher than coming house from vacation to a clear and tidy home! You’ll thank your self if you get house. (As somebody who has come house to lifeless home crops and a fridge filled with rotting meals – I do know!)

8. Pack your automotive and ensure it has gas
Should you’re attending to the airport by automotive, I extremely suggest packing your automotive and ensuring you’ve gotten gas the evening earlier than. Packing the automotive is an easy job nevertheless it has the potential to go actually fallacious! Should you’ve ever tried to pack a automotive with 6 suitcases, 3 drained youngsters and hand baggage when you’re half asleep, you’ll know what I imply!
I prefer to put my suitcases within the boot after which I maintain my purse out on the kitchen desk.
9. Purchase duplicates of something you’ll have to pack within the morning
If there are specific issues you may’t pack till the morning as a result of you must use them, I extremely suggest shopping for duplicates. I do know, it doesn’t seem to be an enormous deal to only pack these issues on the final minute however you’ll be making life a lot simpler for your self!
Issues like your cellphone charger, your toothbrush or a selected cleanser you want to make use of within the morning, simply purchase duplicates.
This implies you may totally pack your suitcase, shut it up and put it within the automotive with out having to squeeze anything into it within the morning.
10. Write your self a morning to-do record
If there’s anything you must do earlier than you allow, undoubtedly write your self a to-do record. Whether or not it’s shutting a window or turning a plug off, simply write it down. It’ll cease the anxiousness of ‘did I keep in mind to do this!?’ and imply you gained’t overlook something. It’ll additionally cease you faffing within the morning since you’ll rapidly work your means by means of your record and depart the home ASAP.
