  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to ensure you have enough time for check-in, security, and immigration.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, take a moment to explore the shops, enjoy a coffee at a café, or unwind at the gate or a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
