  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to be at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you find yourself with extra time, take the opportunity to browse the shops, visit a coffee shop, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
