Pack light and skip checked bags—with budget airlines, it’s often more economical to travel with just a carry-on. Maximize your space by bringing travel-sized toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and coordinating your outfits efficiently. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait 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 packing a book for additional entertainment. Remember to charge your devices fully before you board.
Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it’s advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, taking traffic and security lines into account.
Bring your own snacks and water—pack some 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 get to the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
