  • Pack light and skip checked bags—with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often the more economical choice. Maximize your space by packing travel-sized toiletries, wearing your bulkiest garments, and planning your outfits wisely. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim once you arrive.
  • 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 beforehand, and don’t forget to bring a book. Ensure your devices are fully charged 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 on expenses at the airport.

Some airlines may even offer seat selection earlier than that.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights to allow ample time for check-in, security screening, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, 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.
