  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, it's often more economical to travel with just a carry-on. Maximize space by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating outfits effectively. This approach also helps you bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights might 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. Remember to fully charge your devices 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 conditions and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money during your time 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 often allow free seat selection once online check-in begins, typically 24–48 hours before your flight. Some airlines may offer seat selection even earlier than this.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to reach the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to ensure you have enough time for check-in, security, and immigration.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or 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 syncing your body clock by changing your watch and sleep schedule to match the time zone of your destination. Try to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival location to help minimize jet lag.
