3.2. Be Mindful of Transit Procedures at The Airport

• Once you know your terminal and gate number, make your way there directly and wait at the boarding gate area when it's time to depart.
• At the arrival terminal, look for electronic boards showing departure times, gate numbers, and terminals for your next flight. Airports usually have two passenger flow routes: Transit and Immigration.
