  • 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 space by opting for mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and carefully coordinating your outfits. This approach also helps you avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—a number of short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself occupied, download TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book. Remember to fully charge your devices prior to boarding.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for short or domestic flights, it’s advisable to get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure, taking into account potential traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated while saving money at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some 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. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to synchronize your body clock by setting your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Try to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time of your arrival to help minimize jet lag.
