  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to reach the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights, allowing ample time for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take the opportunity to explore the shops, grab a coffee, or unwind at the gate or in a departure lounge if accessible. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
