  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to be at the airport at least 3 hours before international flight departures to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
