Maximize your space by bringing mini toiletries, wearing your bulkiest clothing, and planning your outfits strategically. This approach also helps you avoid the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at the airport 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 the opportunity to browse the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
