✈️ HOW TO MAKE BUDGET TRAVEL LUXURIOUS 🤭🤑🤑💰

hello lemon8 babes!!

I recently took a long haul flight from SG to Berlin which was 13 hours long 🫣😱😱😱 so I’m here to share some tips to make your budget flights feel more luxurious 😋

before I get started I would like to make a disclaimer:

We didn’t add on for food , drinks or even extra seating space. So this was TRULY budget - we only added check in luggage as we went there during winter and our bags were heavy 🥲

1. Bring empty bottles!!

A bottle of plain water 💦 costs $4 on scoot 😡😡😡 so we decided we needed to outsmart the system!! We brought on 2 EMPTY 1.5 litre bottles and filled them right outside the boarding gate! Yes, near the boarding entrance they have water coolers! (Both hot and warm) I filled up my hot water flask with piping hot water which felt amazing to drink during that long flight 🥺🥺 *only fill after all security checks are done or you’ll risk having to throw away your whole bottle 🤡*

2. Comfort is essential

Staying in such a small seat for 13 hours is rly no joke 🤡 so you really need to be PREPARED!!! Scoot AINT give you nothin HAHAHA so you need to have your neck pillow ready for your sleep time and also blankets! Bring a thin one so they won’t be too heavy and stuff them onto your carry on. Another 📣huge hack 📣 is to bring hotel slippers!! Especially during long flights , wearing winter boots for 13 hours can be crazy uncomfortable. I usually collect hotel slippers during my holidays and just bring them home so that I can use them for opportunities such as these 😆😆 it really makes flying budget feel a million times better

3. FILL YOUR BELLY BEFORE YOU FLY!

our flight to Berlin was at 1am so we decided to go to beauty in a pot @ jewel to make sure we have a super filling meal before we fly. It gave us food coma and we really KOed on the flight LOL!! Flight food is expensive and imo not very worth it … I was glad we had a good dinner so we could just sleep during the flight without feeling hungry! But when we woke up prior to boarding - like 2 hours before. We ate the snacks we bought from 7-11 before we fly off! We bought onigiri and chips so this was more than enough to fill us up before we landed to get breakfast from Berlin Airport 🤭

Hope these tips were helpful since travel season is back! ✈️ wishing everyone safe travels and do share more tips for long haul budget flights🥺would love to learn from y’all 🫶🏻
