  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for short or domestic flights, aim to get to the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure time, 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 while at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to ensure sufficient time for 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 the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
