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

  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money at the airport.

Some airlines may offer 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 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 stores, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports provide free and accessible Wi-Fi.
