  • Pack light and skip checked bags—with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often more economical. Maximize your packing efficiency by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and coordinating outfits in advance. This approach 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. To keep yourself entertained, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time and consider bringing a book. Be sure to fully charge your devices before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for both short and domestic flights, it’s wise to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure, taking into account traffic and security line delays.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack your own snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to reach the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to ensure you have ample time for check-in, security screening, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is usually free and readily available.
