  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often more economical. Save room by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothes, and efficiently planning your outfits. This approach also helps you avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many 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. 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 potential traffic 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.

  • Select your seat in advance—for long flights, choosing your seat is essential for comfort.

Some airlines may permit seat selection even earlier than this.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to be at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to ensure you have ample time for check-in, security, and immigration.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take a moment to explore the stores, find a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi that you can easily access.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin syncing your body clock by changing 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 at your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
