  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take a moment to browse the shops, enjoy a coffee, or unwind at the gate or a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free and accessible Wi-Fi.
