  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—plan to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to ensure sufficient time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is usually free and readily available.
