How early should I arrive at the airport for my flight?

Asked 5 months ago
Jetstar typically recommends that passengers arrive at the airport at least two hours before a domestic flight and three hours prior to an international flight. This timing allows for check-in, security screening, and any potential delays that may arise. It is important to factor in additional time if you need to check baggage or if you are traveling during peak hours when the airport may be busier. Additionally, some airports may have specific guidelines or requirements that could affect your arrival time. Passengers are encouraged to check the latest information on the Jetstar website for the most accurate recommendations and any updates related to their specific flights. Arriving early helps ensure a smoother travel experience and decreases the likelihood of missing a flight due to unforeseen circumstances.
