  • Pack light and skip checked bags—with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often the more economical choice. Maximize space by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning versatile outfits. This approach also helps you avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage claim after your flight.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights do not provide in-flight entertainment. Prepare by downloading TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself engaged. 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, allowing for traffic delays and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money during your time at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to be at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to account for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • 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 generally free and available.
  • 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 of your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
