Airports can be stressful. Here are a few tips (pre-Coronavirus) to get through the airport quickly.
You can find the terminal number in your email confirmation.
If the option is available to you, check-in before your flight. You can check-in online through the airline’s app, usually 24 hours before your flight time. Checking-in can save you time. If you don’t have bags, you can go straight to security. If you have bags, some airlines may have a bag drop or curbside check in to expedite the process. Check with your airline carrier.
Some airlines will also let you choose your seat when you check-in. If you check-in early enough, you may be able to board earlier and get your preferred seat.

Before you get to the airport make sure your suitcase meets the airline’s weight requirements. If your suitcase is overweight and you’re not okay with paying extra fees, you might be in the lobby trying to rearrange your suitcase so that it meets the weight requirement.
When you get to the airport, make sure you’re able to access your license/passport, credit card (or debit card), and boarding pass easily.
