Tips for short-haul flights to Orange Beach

  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when traveling with budget airlines, it’s often more economical to take only a carry-on. Maximize your space by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning your outfits efficiently. This approach also allows you to bypass the baggage claim wait upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights might not provide in-flight entertainment. To keep yourself occupied, 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—for short or domestic flights, it’s advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking into account potential traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while 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 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 extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, visit a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi that is easily accessible.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to sync your body clock by updating your watch and modifying your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
