  • Pack light and skip checked bags—with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often more cost-effective. Maximize your space by using travel-sized toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and coordinating outfits. This strategy also allows you to bypass the baggage claim wait upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may not provide in-flight entertainment. To keep yourself occupied, download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book. Remember to fully charge your devices before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for short or domestic flights, aim 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 and save money at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, explore 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.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin syncing your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to correspond with your destination's time zone.
