There is definitely something cute about a traditional airline meal with a starter, main course, and dessert all served on a little tray. But, unfortunately, adorability doesn’t always make up for taste. In fact, airplane food is somewhat of a running joke, with dozens of people sharing photos of their less-than-appetizing meals on social media.

Depending on how long your flight is, you could be left feeling hungry sooner rather than later.

Sure, you could brave the “chicken or beef” option, but if you prefer to eat something tried and tested, bring along a cup noodle. It should be the kind that has its own container and to which you only need to add boiling water. When the flight attendant offers tea and coffee, ask them to pour some hot water into your noodles and you’ll be chowing down in no time.

This trick also works if you tend to get hungry between meals.

Early Bird

The earlier you book your flight, the more likely it is you’ll get the seat that you really want. More seats will be available if you don’t wait until the last minute so don’t delay it for too long unless you want to get stuck with the dreaded middle seat.

Paying Extra

With many airlines these days, picking the seat that you want doesn’t come cheap, especially if you’re flying with budget airlines. You’ll have to pay extra to book the seat that you really want, and it’s best to do it when booking your flight instead of waiting to do it later.

Seat Upgrades

There are many ways to score a seat upgrade, such as joining a frequent flyer program and using your miles. Some airlines even offer online auctions allowing you to switch from economy to premium economy or even business class if you’re lucky enough. Paying for a seat upgrade is also possible, but it usually doesn’t come cheap.

Book Your Flight on a Tuesday

It’s really that simple. If you don’t care what day of the week you fly on, do yourself a favor and check out the Tuesday flight. Most of the time, you’ll learn that the flight on Tuesday is cheaper than the others. The reason for this is that Tuesday is in the middle of the week, and thus furthest away from the weekend—which is when most people usually fly.

So if flying on the weekend isn’t such a big deal for you, make sure that you book not just your going flight, but your return one as well, on a Tuesday. Once you start doing this, you’ll pretty much never look back. And the best part is, you’ll be shocked how much money you save in the long run!
