To make your trip as smooth as possible, we recommend arriving at least 2 hours before departure, especially during peak travel times like holidays, so you have enough time to drop your bags and pass through security. If you’re traveling to or from a destination outside of Europe, we recommend arriving 3 hours before departure.
