  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, it's often more economical to travel with just a carry-on. Maximize your space by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning your outfits thoughtfully. This approach also helps you avoid the wait at baggage claim once you land.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself entertained, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book as well. Don't forget to charge your devices fully 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 before your departure, taking into account potential traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks along with a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to get to the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
