  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to be at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to ensure you have enough time for check-in, security, and immigration.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, enjoy a coffee at a café, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and readily available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin syncing your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone. Try to sleep or stay awake during the flight according to the local time at your arrival destination to help minimize jet lag.
