Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, it’s often more economical to travel with just a carry-on. Save space by bringing travel-sized toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning your outfits strategically. This approach also allows you to avoid waiting at the baggage claim upon arrival.
Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may not provide in-flight entertainment options. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts beforehand, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself entertained. 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, taking into account traffic and security lines.
Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money 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 typically allow free seat selection once online check-in opens, usually 24–48 hours before your flight. Some airlines may permit seat selection even earlier.
Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, enjoy a coffee at a café, 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. Aim to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
