This approach also helps you avoid the hassle of waiting at baggage claim upon arrival.

  • 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 extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, enjoy a coffee at a café, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free and accessible Wi-Fi.
