Hey, My experience has shown that the type of flight will determine [how early should you arrive at the airport](https://rightcheckin.com/blog/how-early-should-i-get-to-the-airport-to-board-my-flight/). My goal is to be two hours ahead of domestic flights and three hours ahead of international ones. I once arrived late because I misjudged the time, which resulted in a tense security line rush. Since then, I've developed the practice of planning ahead, particularly during times of high travel demand or at crowded airports. You'll feel more at ease and have more time to deal with unforeseen delays or huge queues if you arrive early. Waiting at the gate is always better to running the risk of missing your flight!
