• Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often more economical. Maximize space by opting for mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and efficiently planning your outfits. This approach also helps you avoid the wait 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—even for short or domestic flights, it’s wise to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking into account traffic and security lines.
• Bring your own snacks and water—pack snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

• Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights. This will give you ample time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
• Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, consider browsing the shops, grabbing a coffee, or unwinding at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
