  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to reach 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 have some extra time, explore the shops, visit a coffee shop, 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—start to sync your body clock by changing your watch and adjusting your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
