Tips for short-haul flights to Izena

Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, it's often more economical to travel with just a carry-on. Maximize space by using travel-sized toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating your outfits effectively. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts beforehand, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself engaged. Remember to fully charge your devices prior to boarding.
Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for even short or domestic flights, it's advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours ahead of departure, taking into account potential traffic and security lines.
Bring your own snacks and water—pack snacks and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money at the airport.

Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
