Heading out of Charlotte for your next trip? A little preparation can make the airport experience much easier.

Check your flight status before leaving home, complete online check-in when available, and keep your boarding pass and identification somewhere easy to reach. If you're checking a bag, give yourself extra time for baggage drop-off.

For domestic flights, arriving about two hours early is a good general rule. International travelers should consider allowing closer to three hours, especially during busy travel periods.

Once you clear security, double-check your gate because changes can happen. And don't forget to leave enough time to walk to your gate without rushing.

A calm airport experience usually comes down to one thing: give yourself more time than you think you'll need. A few extra minutes can make the difference between starting your trip relaxed and starting it stressed.
