Tips for short-haul flights to Shell

For quick getaways, efficiency is key. Here is how to make your short-haul journey smoother:

  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often the more economical choice. Maximize your packing efficiency by using travel-sized toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating your outfits. This strategy also allows you to bypass the baggage claim process upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—short-haul flights frequently lack in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself occupied, download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book along. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for both short and domestic flights, it's advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your scheduled departure, taking into account potential traffic delays 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.

Flying long-haul sometimes requires extra planning to ensure a comfortable journey:

  • Select your seat in advance—for longer flights, choosing your seat is essential for comfort. Full-service airlines typically allow you to select your seat for free once online check-in opens, usually 24–48 hours before your flight. Some airlines provide the option to select seats even earlier.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, enjoy a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and readily available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to sync your body clock by setting your watch and modifying your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
