Get to the airport early so you’re relaxed. Con yourself into believing it’s bedtime and try to sleep so that you can keep going all day when you get there. If you can afford more comfy seats it might be worth it - though I always have the cheap ones so I can’t say for sure. Try very hard not to. sit in the middle. I’m small and the guy next to me played games all night and didn’t care that he continually ( with every move) jabbed me with his arm. This was my first flight with Cheap Flights and it was far less convenient than other times I’ve flown overseas.

Anticipate delays, prepare for long walks through Heathrow to baggage claim or for connections.

Always check to confirm your assistance is in system. No wheelchair waiting for me in London. Had no clue about airport or how to get around. Got lost easy
