Arrive 3 hours early for international
International departures need 3h buffer due to check-in + security + immigration flow.
Confirm terminal on boarding pass
T3 handles most long-haul; T1/T2 for domestic and some regionals.
Eat landside before security
Better variety and prices pre-security in T2/T3 arrivals/check-in areas.
