No, two hours is generally insufficient for international flights. Airlines recommend at least three hours prior to departure for international travel to allow for check-in, security, and immigration procedures. Shorter times risk missing your flight.

Is 2 Hours Enough for International Flight?
Ugh, two hours for an international flight? That's cutting it way too close for my comfort. Seriously.
Last July, flying from Heathrow to JFK, I nearly missed my flight because of a ridiculously long security line. Three hours felt barely enough. Stress levels? Through the roof.
International travel always means more paperwork, potential delays, and more walking. Think customs, immigration… it adds up.
My rule? Three hours minimum, ideally four if it's a busy airport. That extra hour buys peace of mind. I learned that the hard way.
Two hours is risky. Three is better. My experience shows it.
