  • Pack light and skip checked bags—for budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often more cost-effective. Optimize your packing by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating outfits. This also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim when you arrive.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights might not provide in-flight entertainment. To keep yourself engaged, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time and don’t forget to pack a book. Ensure your devices are fully charged before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it's advisable to get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure, allowing time for traffic and security checks.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and carry a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to be at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to account for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, enjoy a coffee at a café, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if available. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and accessible.
  • 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. Aim to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time of your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
