  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, it’s often more economical to travel with just a carry-on. Maximize your space by choosing mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating outfits wisely. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may not provide in-flight entertainment options. To stay engaged, download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time and consider bringing a book. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it’s advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking into account potential traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights to account for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, explore the shops, find a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available for use.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to sync your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
