How Early Should You Arrive For Departures?
For intercontinental flights, arrive 2.5–3 hours early; for intra-Europe, 90–120 minutes is typical. Premium cabins ease the process but don't eliminate occasional delays.
Business and first-class counters reduce wait times, and trusted traveler lanes speed security where offered. Leave extra margin at BCN and MAD during holidays and summer Fridays. If connecting from islands, choose earlier flights to buffer weather or ATC delays.
