  • Bring your own snacks and water—pack some snacks and a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated and save money while at the airport.

  • Arrive at the airport in plenty of time—make sure to be at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights, to accommodate check-in, security, and immigration procedures.
