  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it's advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to your departure, taking into account traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack snacks and a refillable water bottle to remain hydrated and save money at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your international flight departs to ensure sufficient time for check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take a moment to explore the shops, visit a coffee shop, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and widely available.
