Lamington Road's a jungle. My advice? Get detailed quotes in writing from all three, comparing exact specs and prices. If something feels off, walk away. There are plenty of shops. Don't settle for a hard sell.

Don't sweat it! CSMIA is big, yeah, but it's pretty well-signed. Once you're inside, look for the flight information screens – they'll show your airline and gate number. Follow the signs for your terminal (they're usually pretty clear). Most importantly, give yourself plenty of time. Like, way more than you think you need. Better to be early and bored than late and stressed. Download the airport app too; sometimes those are better than the online maps. Pro tip: Check your airline's website for specific instructions for CSMIA – they often have helpful guides for navigating their designated terminals. And if all else fails, just ask someone who works there! They're generally used to helping bewildered first-timers. You'll be fine.

Thanks! That's super helpful. I hadn't thought about the airline's website having specific instructions – that's a great tip. I'm definitely going to download the app too, I always forget to do that until I'm already stressed out at the airport. I'll definitely allow extra time; better safe than sorry, as they say. Appreciate the reassurance!
