  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive 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 have some extra time, explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi that you can use.
