Depends on the airline, airport, where you're flying to etc. Go on the airline's website and it should tell you. Rule of thumb - at this time of year if you're at a busy airport I'd allow half an hour to check luggage in and half an hour to get through security and to the gate. Most airlines you have to be at the gate half an hour before departure for international flights but it could be more, so worth checking.

I read that as the fight...

Seeing as it is christmas when everyone is coped up in a house it would seem reasonable to expect friction somewhere..

Thank you one more time for quick responses! I really appreciate it

Are you going somewhere nice? Is this a stealth boast? Xmas Wink

Bitlessbahhumbug · 24/12/2016 10:02

Ask for help if you get to the airport late.

I've been really late before. Made it known to check in staff and at security and have been whisked through. Could not believe how helpful they were. It's happened twice, same help each time.
(I had pretty good reasons so didn't feel guilty about queue jumping)

Stop thanking people and tell us why you posted!!
I wouldn't trust the word of randoms on MN (no offence fellow posters!)

Ellisandra · 24/12/2016 10:07

And totally agree with Bitless - there's just no place for embarrassment if you're going to miss a flight - head down, lots of "I'm sorry" and walk straight to the front of the queue, and grab staff for help!

ErnesttheBavarian · 24/12/2016 10:12

did you make it???

Salmotrutta · 24/12/2016 10:31

ChasedByBees · 24/12/2016 10:37

Hope you made it OP! What happened?

Starlight2345 · 24/12/2016 10:38

"Is Kevin with you? Are you sure?!"

this made me LOL.

Hope you make it.

Salmotrutta · 24/12/2016 10:40

This is very frustrating you know OP.

HOW can I get on with all the things I have to do today until I find out why you posted??

DailyFail1 · 24/12/2016 10:48

3 hours before

Weedsnseeds1 · 24/12/2016 10:52

Short haul / domestic 1 hour, long haul 2-3 hours

WowserBowser · 24/12/2016 10:53

Are you rushing to stop the love of your life from leaving?

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 24/12/2016 11:58

Ive not flown for years, but. I'm sure you now have to be checked in 3 hours before take off. Mind you its 12 o'clock now, so I'm probably a bit late telling you this now

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 24/12/2016 12:00

So if you're not there by now, assuming you're not Jesus Christ Almighty. Youll never make it.

LemonRedwood · 24/12/2016 12:03

Is OP trying to intercept someone who is catching said flight? In a romantic Christmas gesture type thing?

maybeshesawomble · 24/12/2016 12:23

Are you the kid from Love Actually?

KathArtic · 24/12/2016 12:29

DollyPlastic · 24/12/2016 12:30

Have you been watching a lot of Friends? Xmas Wink

PovertyJetset · 24/12/2016 12:34

I'm itching to know the urgency! I hope it's a happy ending one x

troubledsoul12 · 24/12/2016 12:37

Unfortunately my life is not as interesting but you made me smile so much . It's to do with my sister and her catching the flight and options .
But reading some of the posts I wish I can give you some exciting story ....just because it's Christmas ( love actually????)

Heathrow to US they like you there 3 hours before the to rest of EU 2 hours. if your sister is late always worth when you go to passport and security scanning to go front of queue and tell them if you rae very late and they will let you to front of queue and ditto once through there and trying to queue at the air line desk whether you have boarding passes already or not.
