Getting To The Airport

• When to arrive at the airport depends on where you are going.
  • Two hours before scheduled departure time for international flights.
    • You may have to wait in line to check in.
  • One before scheduled departure time for domestic flights.

• For international flights you must be checked in one hour before scheduled departure time.
  • You need this lead time to:
    • Get through security and emigration.
    • Insure that your reservation does not get canceled.
  • Airlines need this lead time to:
    • Run a security check on your luggage.
    • Load your luggage on to the aircraft.
  • If you arrive after that, your reservation may be canceled.
    • Especially true if the flight is oversold.
