Travel Tips

Bag Drop

If you have checked baggage after online check-in, you must drop it off at the airport: for international flights, no later than 60 minutes before departure; for domestic flights, at least 30 minutes before departure.

Recommendation

Arrive early, especially during holiday periods and busy times (e.g., early morning, late afternoon), as airport congestion can cause delays at security and baggage counters. Using public transportation is recommended due to limited parking.

Self Service

Online check-in and mobile boarding pass are recommended for the fastest access at the airport. You can proceed directly to security if you have no checked baggage.
