Hey travelers! :waving_hand:, rushing through airports, paying too much, and feeling worn out ? :grimacing:

These 10 quick airport hacks will save you time, money, and hassle — all while maximizing your Niyo Global Card benefits! :smiley:


Let’s get you from check-in to takeoff like a seasoned pro! :luggage::airplane_departure:

:one: Skip the ₹600 Plastic Wrap – Bring Your Own TSA Strap :left_luggage:

Why pay ₹600 at the airport for luggage wrapping?

  • Bring a TSA-approved luggage strap (₹ 50–₹150)

  • Or pack your own cling film — works just as well
    Bonus: Less waste, more style :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

:two: Pre-book airport meals :bento_box: = Save money :money_bag:

Avoid overpriced ₹700 soggy sandwiches
:white_check_mark: Try: TFS, Lite Bite, FooGo
:white_check_mark: Google: “Pre-book meals (airport name)”
:money_mouth_face: Save 20–30% + skip the food queue.

If you’re flying from Delhi, Mumbai, or Bengaluru, these options are available at major airports.

:three: Use DigiYatra & fly past security :rocket:

DigiYatra = face-recognition based, paperless travel at 24+ Indian airports (soon 40+).

:white_check_mark: Walk through without pulling out your boarding pass :relieved_face:
Best part? It’s totally free.

:four: Go eSIM & save BIG on data :antenna_bars:

No more buying ₹3,000 airport SIMs abroad.

:white_check_mark: Pay with Niyo Global Card (zero forex markup!)
:white_check_mark: Start using data the second you land.

:five: Track bags & gates in real time :mobile_phone_with_arrow:

Airline and airport apps are lifesavers:

    Turn notifications ON before boarding!

Security & check-in apps (DigiYatra, cab bookings) drain battery FAST.
