  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, it's often more cost-effective to travel with just a carry-on. Maximize space by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and coordinating outfits wisely. This also helps you avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may not provide in-flight entertainment options. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself entertained. Remember to fully charge your devices before boarding.
  • 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 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 long flights, choosing your seat is crucial for comfort. Full-service airlines typically allow free seat selection once online check-in begins, which is generally 24–48 hours prior to your flight. Some airlines may allow seat selection even earlier.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make it a point to arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to account for check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take a moment to browse the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge, if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is usually available for free.
  • 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 sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
