  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights to allow sufficient time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have spare time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Generally, airport Wi-Fi is free and widely available.
