  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to international flight departures to accommodate check-in, security procedures, and immigration.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, visit a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
