  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—for both short and domestic flights, it’s advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours before your departure, taking into account traffic and potential security delays.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and to save money while at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—ensure you arrive 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 have extra time, take a moment to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free and accessible Wi-Fi.
