    Change into running shoes if you need to get to the next gate, for some reason everything seems farther than normal

    If you're making a domestic connection you'll have to go through security again.

    One of the slowest immigration checks ever. Usually only two of the many counters are active so expect to wait longer than you have to at most busy airports

    Oh and double check the automated machines before inserting your declarations card. It makes customs so much easier, just make sure no one forgot to log out before using the terminal!

    I arrive late at night and leave early morning when it’s still dark, so nothing is open when I’m there. :(

    Nexus security is on the top floor. They are doing construction down below at main security and you will get priority line but not nexus security…

    Ladies try to get your bags and exit the luggage line up before taking a restroom break or you will be waiting in line forever.
