  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security checks, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, explore the shops, enjoy a coffee at a café, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and readily available.
  • Adjust to the new time zone mid-flight—begin synchronizing your body clock by setting your watch and modifying your sleep schedule to align with your destination's time zone.
