At gate by 2pm, start boarding at 2.20pm.

The gate would likely close at 2.30 so you'd need to be boarded before that

It will say online or on the boarding cards or online checkin Confused

But usually boarding is an 1hr - 45 mins before the flight. Checkin will usually close an hour before

We always aim to get to airport 2 hours before flight.
Check in usually closes at least 30 minutes before fight time. Boarding begins at least 15 mins before flight time.

Isn't check in from around 2 hours before take off and boarding anything from 1 hour down to 30 minutes before takeoff? I have known the boarding gates close 30 minutes before takeoff though if it's a busy flight. It's dependant on the airline and destination.

Obviously the gate opens at least an hour before actual getting on the plane.

Depends a bit on airline and if Europe or further. Don't ask here, check yiur travel papers. But yes it's 9 am now and do get at 3 you have a few hours you don't need to be heading to the gate yet

If flight's at 3pm, I'd aim to arrive at 1pm with an hour's grace built in. It did go tits up one time - we checked in with 20 mins to spare and literally ran to the gate before mega security checks

Whats the AIBU?

Why on earth didn't you just Google it? Or go to the carrier website?

I could say oh turn up when you're ready, they'll wait for you.. or you have to be there the day before.. could I be lying?Hmm

I'd be at the airport far earlier than two hours before at this time of year.

The gate might be open at 2pm but you are likely to still be going through security at that time
It can take a while to clear security, so you really need to be planning on arriving 2-3 hours before your flight

Can you check in online?
It does save time

Did you sleep in or something OP?

Or has some other unforeseen delay happened?

I'm just nosey!

Hope you get there on time - FWIW we always try to get to the airport 2-3 hours before a long haul.

Good luck!

If it's America some airlines specify three hours before departure.
