  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on can often save you money. Maximize your packing efficiency by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and organizing your outfits thoughtfully. This approach also eliminates the hassle of waiting at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may not provide in-flight entertainment options. To keep yourself entertained, 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 short or domestic flights, it's advisable to get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure, taking into account traffic and potential 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.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to reach 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 have extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge if available. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and accessible.
