Some airlines may provide the option to select seats even earlier.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make it a point to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights, allowing ample time for check-in, security checks, 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. Airport Wi-Fi is usually free and readily available.
