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

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—even for short or domestic flights, it’s advisable to arrive at least 1.5 to 2 hours prior to departure, allowing for traffic and security checks.
  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay nourished and hydrated while also saving money at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international flights 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 unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and readily available.
