  • Pack light and skip checked bags—when flying with budget airlines, traveling with just a carry-on is often more economical. Maximize space by using mini toiletries, wearing your heaviest clothing, and planning your outfits strategically. This approach also allows you to avoid the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.
  • Bring your own entertainment—many short-haul flights may lack in-flight entertainment options. To keep entertained, download your favorite TV shows, movies, music, or podcasts ahead of time, and consider bringing a book. Be sure to charge your devices fully before you board.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for both short and domestic flights, it's advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, allowing for potential traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack snacks and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

Some airlines may permit seat selection even earlier than this.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights, allowing ample time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is typically free and readily available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to synchronize your body clock by setting your watch and modifying your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
