Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to be at the airport at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to allow 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 you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
