  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

Some airlines may provide seat selection even earlier.
  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to get to the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to ensure ample time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take a moment to browse the shops, visit a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free and accessible Wi-Fi.
