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

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—ensure you arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi that you can easily connect to.
