When should I arrive at the airport for check-in?

Updated 

It's generally recommended to arrive at the airport well in advance of your flight's departure time to allow for check-in, security checks, and any unforeseen delays.

For domestic flights, arriving at least 2 hours before your flight is usually sufficient. However, for international flights, you should aim to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before your departure time.

Please allow enough time to get to your flight, be aware that during busy travel periods or at airports with heightened security, you may experience longer queues.

Boarding usually starts 30–45 minutes before departure, and the gate generally closes 20 minutes before departure.

Check with your airline to see what time the check-in counters open.
