A calm journey always begins long before the airplane leaves the ground
There is a quiet truth about traveling by air that many people forget. Comfort does not start when you sit in your seat. Comfort begins at home, when you prepare calmly, without rushing, without panic, without that familiar fear of being late.
Lion Group understands this deeply. That is why they encourage every passenger to start their journey in a relaxed and unhurried way—so every process at the airport flows smoothly, naturally, and without stress.
Because flying should not feel like a race.
It should feel like a journey you are ready for.
Let us walk through 8 practical tips that can turn your next flight into a comfortable, worry-free experience.
Tip 1 – First of All, Arrive at the Airport Early
Because peace of mind is never created by rushing
There is something comforting about arriving early. You breathe slower. Your steps feel lighter. You are no longer fighting time—you are walking alongside it.
For domestic flights, Lion Group recommends arriving 3 hours before departure.
For international flights, make it 4 hours before departure.
This extra time is not wasted time. It is a buffer for life’s unpredictability—traffic jams, long check-in lines, or unexpected document checks.
“Arriving early means we have more time to check in, go through security, and even get some work done before boarding,”
— Danang Mandala Prihantoro, Corporate Communications Strategist of Lion Group.
And when you arrive early, something subtle happens:
You stop worrying.
You start enjoying the journey.
👉 Conversion insight: Passengers who arrive early tend to explore airport services, relax in lounges, and make better travel decisions—creating a smoother experience from start to finish.
Then, Understand Your Ground Route to the Airport
Because the journey to the airport is part of the flight itself
Before the plane takes off, your journey has already begun—on the road.
Traffic, weather, and city rhythms can change without warning. That is why Lion Group encourages passengers to research ground routes in advance.
Know:
-
The fastest route
-
One or two alternative routes
-
Real-time traffic conditions using map apps
Equally important is choosing the right transportation:
-
Taxi or online ride-hailing
-
Airport bus
-
Shuttle services
Each option has its own rhythm. Choose the one that matches your schedule and comfort.
And don’t forget the other side of the journey.
When you land, already knowing how to reach:
-
The city center
-
Your hotel
-
Your final destination
…will save you energy when you need it most.
👉 Conversion insight: Passengers who plan ground transportation in advance tend to rate their overall flight experience higher—because stress never had a chance to enter.
Tip 3 – Next, Take Advantage of Online Check-In
Because technology exists to make life easier, not harder
Standing in long lines is rarely anyone’s idea of comfort.
That is why Lion Group offers online check-in via the BookCabin app, allowing you to check in:
-
From home
-
From your hotel
-
From your office
⏰ Available 11 hours to 30 minutes before departure
Your boarding pass stays safely on your phone, ready whenever you need it.

👉 Conversion insight: Using the BookCabin app not only saves time but also opens access to additional services like seat selection and meal pre-booking—small choices that greatly improve comfort.
Then, Prepare Your Travel Documents Carefully
Because confidence comes from readiness
There is nothing more unsettling than searching for documents at the last minute.
For domestic flights, prepare:
-
National ID card or official identification
For international flights, ensure you have:
-
Passport
-
Visa (if required)
-
Additional documents such as medical certificates or destination-specific requirements
“Make sure all travel documents are ready and easily accessible before arriving at the airport,”
— Danang Mandala Prihantoro.
Keep them in one place.
Easy to reach.
Easy to show.
When documents are ready, your mind is free to focus on the journey itself.
Tip 5 – Manage Your Baggage Wisely
Because traveling light is traveling smart
Every airline has baggage rules, and understanding them saves time, money, and energy.
Before departure:
-
Check your free baggage allowance (FF) for your route
-
Weigh your bags at home if possible
Always keep:
-
Valuables
-
Important documents
-
Electronics
…inside your cabin baggage, never in checked luggage.
A well-packed bag does not just meet regulations—it gives you confidence at every checkpoint.
👉 Conversion insight: Passengers who follow baggage guidelines avoid excess fees and delays, making their Lion Group experience smoother and more enjoyable.
Tip 6 – Pay Attention to Cabin Carry-On Rules
Because safety is part of comfort
Cabin regulations exist not to complicate travel, but to protect everyone on board.
Key rules to remember:
-
Liquids or gels: maximum 100 ml per container (international flights)
-
Prohibited items include:
-
Sharp objects
-
Flammable materials
-
Spare lithium batteries in checked baggage
-
Power bank regulations:
-
Up to 100 Wh / 20,000 mAh: allowed in cabin
-
100–160 Wh: airline approval required (max 2 units)
-
Above 160 Wh: not permitted
Following these rules ensures a smooth security process—and a safer flight for all.
Tip 7 – Pre-Book Meals for Extra Comfort
Because good food makes every journey better
Hunger is a small thing—but it can quietly steal your comfort.
For departures from Jakarta, Lion Group allows passengers to pre-book meals via:
-
The BookCabin app
-
Official website: www.lionair.co.id
⏰ Book at least 24 hours before departure
Benefits of pre-booking:
-
Wider menu selection
-
Lower prices
-
Meals served directly during the flight
It is a simple choice that adds warmth to your journey.
👉 Conversion insight: Pre-booking meals not only enhances comfort but also ensures availability—especially on busy routes.
Finally, Enjoy On-Board Sales
Because travel memories are often found in small moments
During the flight, Lion Group offers on-board sales, including:
-
Food and drinks
-
Souvenirs and exclusive items
Purchases can be made using cash payment methods accepted on board.
Sometimes, comfort is not about necessity—but about enjoyment. A warm drink. A small souvenir. A moment of pause at 30,000 feet.

Lion Group wants every customer to experience a journey that is comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. And the secret is simple:
Preparation.
When you plan ahead, arrive early, use digital services like BookCabin, and understand travel rules, flying becomes what it should be—a peaceful transition from one place to another.
