  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, it's often more economical to travel with just a carry-on. Save space by opting for mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning your outfits wisely. This also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself entertained. Be sure to charge your devices fully 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 before your departure, taking into account 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.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make it a point to be at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights, allowing ample time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, visit a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge, if accessible. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin acclimating your body clock by changing your watch and 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.
