Sure, they appear like a good suggestion! A 6am flight doesn’t appear too early…proper? However you then consider 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 obtained some tricks to make the early morning flight a bit of simpler and belief me after 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 sporting, 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 maintaining my airplane outfit tremendous easy and I all the time put on my favorite leggings and a comfortable hoodie with a cap and women’s running trainers.
2. Have every little thing packed and able to go
It goes with out saying, proper? Be sure your baggage are absolutely packed earlier than you go to mattress!
Journey Hack Tip: In case you’re the form of one who panics they’ve forgotten one thing, hold reminding your self that every 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
In case you’re the form of one who 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 normally 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 prime and that is so good for the morning!
I like Joe Wicks overnight oats recipes. They really feel so indulgent however they’re actually filling and wholesome – simply what you want once you’ve obtained a giant day forward!
4. Have your espresso pot prepared
In case you can’t depart the home with out a espresso, get every little thing prepared so you may make it as shortly as attainable. I normally 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 may’t fly with out a big water bottle! I prefer to fill mine with iced water and hold it within the fridge prepared for the morning. I then try to drink all of it earlier than I am going by means of airport safety so at the very least I’m starting my journey hydrated. I’ll refill it once more at a fountain or espresso store on the airport.
6. Triple test your airport journey preparations
Verify, test and test once more.
- What time is your flight?
- Are you checked in in 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?
- Have you learnt the way you’re attending to your lodging when you arrive?
7. Tidy the home, put the bins out, lock your home windows and water your vegetation
That is essentially the most annoying factor to do earlier than a vacation (when you may have one million different issues to do already) but it surely’s additionally essentially the most rewarding. There’s nothing higher than coming dwelling from vacation to a clear and tidy home! You’ll thank your self once you get dwelling. (As somebody who has come dwelling to lifeless home vegetation and a fridge stuffed with rotting meals – I do know!)
Journey Hack Tip: You get bonus factors for ordering a web based meals store for once you get again out of your vacation! It makes me really feel like Tremendous Mum after I do that.
8. Pack your automotive and ensure it has gas
In case you’re attending to the airport by automotive, I extremely suggest packing your automotive and ensuring you may have gas the evening earlier than. Packing the automotive is a straightforward job but it surely has the potential to go actually flawed! In case you’ve ever tried to pack a automotive with 6 suitcases, 3 drained kids 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 hold my purse out on the kitchen desk.
9. Purchase duplicates of something you’ll must pack within the morning
If there are particular issues you possibly can’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 appear to be a giant deal to simply pack these issues on the final minute however you’ll be making life a lot simpler for your self!
Issues like your telephone charger, your toothbrush or a selected cleanser you want to make use of within the morning, simply purchase duplicates.
This implies you possibly can absolutely pack your suitcase, shut it up and put it within the automotive with out having to squeeze the rest into it within the morning.
10. Write your self a morning to-do record
If there’s the rest 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 received’t neglect something. It’ll additionally cease you faffing within the morning since you’ll shortly work your manner by means of your record and depart the home ASAP.
