  • Pack light and skip checked bags—with budget airlines, it’s often more economical to travel with just a carry-on. Maximize your space by bringing mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning outfits thoughtfully. 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. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time 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 wise 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 refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to get to the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights. This will give you ample time for check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take the opportunity to explore the stores, 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 syncing your body clock by changing your watch and modifying your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Try to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
