• Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to arrive at least 3 hours prior to departure for international flights to allow sufficient time for 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 the gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports provide free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
