When to get to the airport for international flights

Please make sure you arrive at the airport with plenty of time to check in, get your boarding pass before check-in closes, and clear security. See the tables below for timelines.

All timings listed below refer to scheduled departure times unless you are notified otherwise during a delay.

We also recommend you check your flight’s identification requirements and limits for carry-on baggage liquids, aerosols, gels and powders before you get to the airport. If you’re not at the boarding gate before it closes, you won’t be able to board your flight and you may lose your fare in full.
