• 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 procedures.
• Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, enjoy a coffee, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
