This is a guide, not a guarantee.
Your airline's check-in and boarding deadlines are the only times that count — always follow those. This suggestion covers the terminal only: add your own travel time, and allow extra for traffic, parking, queues and anything unexpected.

Typical arrival times
Most people reach the terminal about 1 hour before a short flight and 2 hours before a long one.
The times we suggest are deliberately earlier: they put you ahead of about four travellers in five, rather than in the middle of the crowd.
