If you own any pets then must consider and finalize service provider who can take care your pets while you are not present and prefer location near to your house.
You must check with airline customer care and airport authority at least day before your travel date to make trip smother and stress less. Generally you need to arrive 3 hours prior to your flight schedule because it requires this time for boarding and other formalities. You must make inquiry about parking facility and restriction.
You should consider prior printout of boarding pass on internet 24 hours before your flight if you plan to carry only carry on luggage with you. As you do not have any other luggage for check in so you do not need to stand in a long queue for check in and you can directly proceed to boarding area.
