NEW YORK – Five ways to enjoy your flight and still be cheap, offered by US-based budget flights website, CheapOair.com:
1. Act like a toddler. Bring a “blankie†and small, inflatable pillow and wake up rested at your destination.
2. Be like a camel. Bring an empty water bottle through security and fill it up at a water fountain near your gate.
3. Make your seatmates jealous. Don’t pay $5 for stale bread and cheese. Pack a turkey wrap with fresh cheese, avocado and yummy sides. Fresh popcorn, pitas with hummus… or even your favorite chocolate bar.
4. You shouldn’t have to amuse yourself… but you kinda have to. Bring your own headphones to watch the in-board movie or listen to music.
5. Use your luggage as a workout. If you have to pay $25 to check your bag, get your money’s worth. Before checking the bag, use it for arm raises or use it to hold an impromptu step class. $25 is much cheaper than paying for a personal training session.
