The post 5 Hacks You Should Use to Pack a Low-Cost Flight Bag for a Week appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>Unless you’re working while traveling, try to leave all the bulky electronics behind. Laptops and tablets will take you a lot of space in your bag and make it much heavier.
Even if you’re staying at a hostel that doesn’t offer free toiletries, packing all the products you use on a daily basis is probably not an option. Consider buying a multi-purpose shampoo once you reach the destination or pack the essentials in reusable travel bottles.
Carefully choosing your clothes will save you a ton of space. Go with versatile items in neutral colors that you can mix and match easily, and opt for lightweight fabrics, especially if you’re traveling during colder seasons.
You can also plan to do laundry midway through your trip or wash it by hand as you go along. You’ll be able to significantly minimize your baggage and pack fewer clothes.
Some popular packing hacks are worth trying when you’re traveling ultra-light, such as rolling your clothes and using packing cubes or compression bags to save up space.

]]>If you booked a flight with a low-cost airline, don’t head to the airport before checking in online. They can charge you as high as $30 for check-in, so it’s always a good idea to do it beforehand.
When low-cost airlines were first introduced, most of them allowed you to take carry-on luggage free of charge, but that’s no longer the case. With most of them, including WizzAir and Ryanair, you only get to bring a backpack of a certain size, while carry-on will cost you extra.
If you’re traveling with your friends and family and want to sit together during the flight, be ready to spend some money. Seat selection will cost you a few extra bucks if you don’t want to be separated during your flight.
With most reputable airlines, you’ll at least get some snacks and drinks for free, but don’t expect this kind of luxury when booking low-cost flights because you’ll be charged for everything—even water.

]]>Most low-budget airlines charge you for all the baggage you bring along—even a carry-on. Check their baggage rules before booking a flight and decide for yourself if it’s worth it. In some cases, it makes more sense to fly with a regular airline once you take baggage fees of low-budget airlines into consideration.
Low-budget airlines usually offer the cheapest possible prices at odd times. Booking them isn’t always a good idea and you should try to reach your destination around or before your check-in time. If you get there too late, you’re just wasting money paying for accommodation without actually getting to see the city on your first day.
They say that “time is money” and you’ll end up losing a lot of it if you book a flight with a long layover. If you’re using Google Flights to make your travel plans, don’t always get glued to the cheapest ticket, especially if it involves two low-budget airlines and a long layover.

]]>No matter which airline you opt for, traveling light can save you a lot of money, and that’s especially true with WizzAir. A 40x30x20 cm bag is all you can take on board for free, and you won’t have to pay extra if you manage to fit your luggage inside it. Carefully check the dimensions of your luggage so you wouldn’t have to pay any additional fees.
The more flexible you are, the more likely it is that you’re going to find a cheap WizzAir flight. Do thorough research on the website and consider switching your departure dates if you stumble upon a cheaper option.
Joining Wizz Discount Club can save you €10 on ticket fares and €5 on checked-in bags, and it’s a great fit for frequent travelers. It will set you back by €29.99 per year, so it essentially pays off if you’re going to fly with this company at least three times a year. Group membership is also available for travelers flying with family or friends.

]]>We all want to escape the horrors of the middle seat, but this will cost you extra when you’re flying with a low-cost airline. If your flight is too short and you’re flying alone, paying extra so you can choose a different seat usually isn’t worth the trouble.
Checking in at the airport usually isn’t the best idea when it comes to budget airlines. In addition to wasting time in the check-in queue if you’re flying with nothing but a carry-on, this step is best done beforehand because low-cost airlines charge extra for late check-in.
Traveling light is your best bet when it comes to budget airlines. They tend to charge pretty expensive baggage fees, especially if you didn’t make a payment online. If you’re traveling with friends and family, you can always pack a single suitcase to save up on baggage fees.

]]>Say goodbye to fancy boarding passes that your airline company prints out for you since you won’t be getting one here. You have to check-in online and print or download the boarding pass before reaching the airport unless you want to pay a high fee.
If you’re flying with a low-cost airline, standard ticket only includes a carry-on – and that’s not even the case with all of them. Keep in mind you’ll have to pay extra to bring more baggage along, and always check what the rules are so they wouldn’t charge you for every tiny mistake.
Eating airplane food is never a delight, even when you’re getting it for free, but that will never be the case on budget airlines. They’ll charge you for snacks and drinks, as well, but you can simply skip them if your flight is not very long.
