Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often more economical. Maximize space by opting for mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning your outfits wisely. This approach also helps you avoid the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights might 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 charge your devices fully before you board.
Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for both short and domestic flights, it's advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, allowing for potential traffic delays and security lines.
Bring your own snacks and water—pack snacks along with a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to get to the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security procedures, and immigration.
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 syncing your body clock by changing your watch and sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Aim to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
