Should I arrive 2 hours before flight or boarding?
Aim to arrive at the airport 2 hours before your domestic flight's departure. For international flights, plan for 3 hours. This buffer ensures ample time for check-in, security, and navigating to your gate stress-free.
How early should I arrive at the airport for my flight?
Ugh, airport timing, right? So stressful.
For domestic flights, two hours is usually enough. Last time, July 14th, flying from Denver to Chicago (Southwest, btw, $250), I made it with like, ten minutes to spare. Too close for comfort.
International flights? Three hours minimum. Absolutely. I learned that the hard way. Missed my connection to Rome once, 2019, because of long security lines. Cost me a fortune.
So yeah, two hours domestic, three international. Buffer time is your friend. Seriously.
