  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often more cost-effective. Maximize your space by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest items, and planning versatile outfits. This strategy also helps you avoid the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—short-haul flights frequently lack in-flight entertainment options. Download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself occupied. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for both short and domestic flights, it’s advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure, taking into account potential traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • Select your seat in advance—for longer flights, choosing your seat is essential for comfort. Full-service airlines often provide complimentary seat selection once online check-in begins, typically 24–48 hours prior to your flight. Some airlines allow seat selection even earlier than this.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take a stroll through the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin syncing your body clock by changing your watch and sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Try to either sleep or stay awake during the flight in accordance with the local time at your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
