  • Pack light and skip checked bags—with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often more economical. Maximize your packing efficiency by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and coordinating outfits. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights might not provide in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself engaged, download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts beforehand, and consider bringing a book as well. Remember to fully charge your devices prior to 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 traffic and security lines into account.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—include snacks and a refillable water bottle in your bag to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

Flying long-haul sometimes requires extra planning to ensure a comfortable journey:

  • Select your seat in advance—for longer flights, choosing your seat is essential for comfort. Full-service airlines often allow free seat selection once online check-in opens, usually 24–48 hours before your flight. Some airlines may permit seat selection even earlier than this.
  • 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 accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is typically free and available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to align your body clock by changing your watch and sleep schedule to reflect your destination's time zone. Try to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time of your arrival destination to help mitigate jet lag.
