  • 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 reach the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take a stroll through the shops, visit a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if available. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
