This approach also allows you to bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.

• Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make it a point to arrive at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
• Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and widely available.
