How soon before my flight can I go through security?
You can typically go through airport security 3-4 hours before your flight. However, check with your airline or the specific airport's website for their recommended security check-in times. International flights may require extra time.
How Early Can I Arrive for Airport Security?
Ugh, airport security, right? I once got to Gatwick (July 12th, last year) three hours early – felt super smart. Then, the line was snaking around like a python, took ages!
Seriously, though, aim for 2-3 hours before a domestic flight. International? Bump that up to at least 3, maybe even 4, especially during peak times. It saved my bacon on my trip to Rome, believe me.
My advice? Check your airline’s website. They’re usually pretty good at giving you the heads-up. Plus, each airport is different; some are way more efficient than others. Remember, delays happen. Better safe than sorry, you know?
