• Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights, ensuring sufficient time for check-in, security checks, and immigration procedures.
• Relax at the airport—if you have extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge, if accessible. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi.
