Lessons learned from hard years of being late to the airport and flying too much

Lessons learned from hard years of being late to the airport and flying too much

Late to the airport

Okay, if you're late to the airport, you might not be late to your flight. Maximize your chances of making your flight, even if you're late to the airport.

Step 1, knowledge:

  • Most domestic flights require 30 minute before your flight takes off check-in time. SFO, JFK, and other major airports have upped this to 45 minutes. Play it safe. Check in on your phone in transit to the airport, even if you plan on using the kiosk to get a piece of paper for whatever reason.
  • Gates close 15 minutes prior to departure for domestic flights.
