  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it's advisable to reach the airport at least 1.5 to 2 hours before departure, taking into account traffic and security lines.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to get to the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
