  • 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, explore the shops, enjoy a coffee at a café, or unwind at your gate or in a departure lounge if you have access. Airport Wi-Fi is generally free and available.
