Some airlines may provide the option to select seats even earlier.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights. This will give you enough 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 your gate or in a departure lounge, if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is typically free and available throughout.
