Before arriving at the boarding area, ensure you are aware of the additional screening processes, especially if you are flying to a US destination. Expect to navigate through 2-3 extra levels of security, with the last checks occurring just before you enter the gate area. Once you pass through the security screening in this area, you cannot exit and re-enter, so plan accordingly. With a current traveller rating of 8/5, the experience is generally well-regarded, but being prepared will help you avoid any last-minute surprises.
