- Passport control and immigration — follow the "Arrivals" signs to border control and have your passport and any entry documents ready. International arrivals are cleared before you reach the baggage hall.
- Baggage claim — check the screens for your flight number to find the right carousel. Checked bags are delivered to the arrivals hall of the terminal your flight landed at.
