• Check-In Online: If you are flying with an airline that offers online check-in, make use of this service. Boarding passes can be downloaded to a mobile device, allowing you to proceed directly to the security screening area upon arrival at the terminal.
• Time Your Arrival: Please arrive at the terminal no more than two hours prior to your flight’s scheduled departure time, unless advised otherwise by your airline.
• Pack Smart: Liquids in hand luggage must be under 100ml and placed in a clear, resealable plastic bag. These items, as well as laptops and electronics, should remain inside the luggage during screening.
• Have Travel Documents Ready: To streamline your journey from check-in to boarding, ensure that your passport, boarding pass and any required visas are easily accessible.
• Stay Informed: Monitor Flight Information Display Screens throughout the terminal for real-time updates, including flight status and gate allocation.
• Stay Hydrated: Carry a refillable water bottle with you and top up after security at one of the airport’s free water stations.
