3-4 days before the flight, make sure you have a plan for how to get to the airport. Call a taxi, book a seat on a bus, or plan your route on public transport. 1 day before the flight, go to the airport website, find the schedule, and make sure that your flight is not canceled or delayed. Also, check if the size and the weight of your luggage are in accordance with the rules. If they’re not, you might have to pay extra.

If you have a domestic flight, you should be at the airport 2 hours in advance and 3 hours in advance if it’s an international flight. This is how much time you’ll need to check-in for your flight, check-in your luggage, go through security, and board the place.

Even without any delays, all the procedures take 40-50 minutes. But often, there are lines at check-in counters, the security check takes more time than planned, or the gate changes, so you have to move from one part of the airport to the other, quickly. All of these things take time, so in order to make it on time, it’s better to arrive nice and early.
