  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to be at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to ensure ample time for 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 a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports provide free and accessible Wi-Fi.
