  • Pack light and skip checked bags—with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often more economical. Save space by opting for mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning your outfits strategically. This approach also helps you avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights might not provide in-flight entertainment. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time and consider bringing a book to keep yourself occupied. Remember to charge your devices fully before you board.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your international flight departs, allowing ample time for check-in, security checks, 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 complimentary and available for use.
