  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take a stroll through the stores, find a cozy coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
