  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights. This will give you ample time for check-in, security screening, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, enjoy a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free and accessible Wi-Fi.
