We recommend allowing plenty of time before your flight to complete check-in, bag drop (if required), security screening and boarding.
The time you should arrive at the airport can vary depending on your airline, destination and whether you have hold baggage to check in.
Checking in and dropping off bags
If you need to check in at the airport or drop off hold baggage, please be aware that check-in and bag drop desks open at different times depending on the airline. Some airlines may open their desks up to 3 hours before departure, while others may open them 2 hours before departure.
We recommend checking your airline's website for the latest check-in and bag drop information before you travel.
Travelling with hand luggage only
If you have already checked in online and are travelling with hand luggage only, you can proceed directly to security when you arrive at the airport.
Please ensure you allow enough time to:
- Pass through security screening
- Visit your departure gate
- Be ready to board when requested by your airline
