Check-in, bag-drop, security and boarding the flight all take time. To ensure your journey is as comfortable and stress-free as possible, we advise arriving 2 hours before departure. That way, you can relax before your flight and it also allows for any queues at security. For long-haul flights, make sure to allow for even more time—around 3 hours./div>
