Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, it’s usually more economical to travel with just a carry-on. Maximize space by using travel-size toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and planning your outfits efficiently. This approach also helps you avoid the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may not provide in-flight entertainment options. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book to keep yourself engaged. Don’t forget 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 potential security lines.
