• Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to be at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights. This will give you ample time for check-in, security, and immigration processes.
• Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, find a coffee shop, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi that is generally easy to access.
