  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to your departure for international flights, allowing sufficient time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge, if accessible. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
