  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often the more economical choice. Optimize space by using mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning your outfits strategically. This approach also allows you to bypass waiting at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights might not provide in-flight entertainment. To stay engaged, download 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 even short or domestic flights, it's advisable to get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, accounting 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.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights, which gives you ample time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some spare time, take the opportunity to 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.
