  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to reach the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights to allow sufficient time for check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • 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 in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is typically free and available.
