Some airlines may provide the option to select your seat even earlier.
  • 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 some extra time, take a moment 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 available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin to align your body clock by changing your watch and modifying your sleep schedule to correspond with your destination's time zone.
