  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, it's usually more economical to travel with just a carry-on. Optimize your packing by including mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating outfits efficiently. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights might not provide in-flight entertainment. To keep yourself entertained, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time and consider bringing a book. 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 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 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 find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, enjoy 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 aligning your body clock by changing your watch and modifying your sleep schedule to correspond with your destination's time zone.
