  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often more economical. Maximize your space by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and planning versatile outfits. This approach also means you can avoid 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 ahead of time, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself occupied. Remember to charge your devices fully before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it’s wise to get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking into account traffic and security wait times.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

Some airlines provide the option to select your seat even earlier.
  • 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 generally free and available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to sync your body clock by changing your watch and modifying your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Try to sleep or remain awake during the flight according to the local time of your arrival to help minimize jet lag.
