Identify the factors involved in successfully ensuring one has enough time to successfully board a flight.
Must-Learn
Arrive at the airport early. For your first time traveling on an airplane, allow extra time to make it through the airport and familiarize yourself with the process. If you will be parking, check into the long-term lot for multiday stays; for this option, some airports have shuttles to the terminal if the lot is not within walking distance. To give yourself a buffer of time, aim to arrive at least two hours before a domestic flight and three hours before an international flight.
