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

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it’s advisable to get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure, taking into account potential traffic and security lines.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights, ensuring ample time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, enjoy a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge, if accessible. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
