Upgraded Points Uncovers the Airports Where Travelers Should Arrive the Earliest
AUSTIN, Texas, April 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- While the general guideline of arriving at the airport two hours before takeoff remains, Upgraded Points' latest study reveals that certain airports demand an even larger time cushion, while others might allow travelers to relax a bit longer.
"Successful travel is all about starting your journey on the right note," said Keri Stooksbury, editor-in-chief at Upgraded Points. "Our study shows that one-size-fits-all advice doesn't always work when it comes to airport arrival times. By understanding each airport's unique challenges – from sprawling layouts to heavy security lines – travelers can better plan their trips and avoid the stress of last-minute scrambles."
Study Methodology
The study analyzed 15 factors impacting the overall preflight experience, like parking availability and TSA wait times to terminal size, departure delays, and even shopping options. Each data point was scaled for accurate comparison and weighted by its significance. The resulting score, capped at 50, indicates the necessary arrival buffer, with higher scores meaning travelers should arrive even earlier.
