Tips for short-haul flights to General Luna

For quick getaways, efficiency is key. Here is how to make your short-haul journey smoother:

  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, it's often more cost-effective to travel with just a carry-on. Maximize space by choosing mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and planning your outfits wisely. This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim once you land.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. Download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and don’t forget to bring a book to keep yourself engaged. 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 advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours before departure to account for 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.

Tips for long-haul flights to General Luna

Flying long-haul sometimes requires extra planning to ensure a comfortable journey:

  • Select your seat in advance—for longer flights, choosing your seat is essential for comfort. Full-service airlines typically allow seat selection for free once online check-in opens, usually 24–48 hours prior to your flight. Some airlines may provide seat selection even earlier than this.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to get to the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights. This will give you ample time for check-in, security, and immigration.
  • 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.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin aligning your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to reflect your destination's time zone. Try to rest or stay awake during the flight according to the local time of your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
