This approach also helps you bypass the wait at baggage claim upon arrival.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your international flight departs to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration processes.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or relax at the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi that you can use.
