  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your departure for international flights to account for check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
  • Relax at the airport—if you have some extra time, feel free to explore the shops, enjoy a coffee at a café, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Most airports offer free Wi-Fi for your convenience.
