International Flight Airlines

Waiting periods at individual airfields at check-in counters, luggage screening and TSA checkpoints differ, affecting the suggested arrivals schedule. For international flights, international aerodromes such as Orlando International recommend a three hour flight before your flight depart. A number of aerodromes, such as the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport-they allow travellers to keep up to date on waiting periods on web sites in order to schedule the best possible period for reaching the aerodrome on a particular date.

Every carrier has a certain period of timeout after which international travellers may no longer board or board a flight. Thus, for example, Americans Airlines, Continental, Delta and Virgin America demand that international travellers at US flights must hold their bags at least one flight-hours in advance; some places need to be checked in before.

The majority of airlines also demand that travellers be at the gates about 30 min before take-off. Due to the varying turnaround at airports, Delta's website advises you to arrive at the international destination three and a half hour before your international trip, while Virgin America advises you to allow two and a half hour. Travellers who fly at peaks must schedule to arrive at the airports sooner than most referrals in order to have enough free flight time for checking in or checking in luggage and passing through safety.

Even though peaks differ between airlines and airfields, the Continental Airlines website recommends that you arrive half an hours ahead of schedule on Friday and Sunday nights. The most popular weekly working days throughout the country are 18:30 to 21:30, 11:00 to 14:00 and 15:30 to 19:30. The Los Angeles International airport website proposes to allow additional flight attendances at the international peaks between 11:00 and 14:00 and 20:00 to 23:00 every day.

Travellers must take into account the travelling times to and from the airports when scheduling their times of arrivals. Travelling delay to the airports is more likely at times of heavy congestion, such as peak hours. Airlines' check-in counters are often far away from TSA control points and board-level terminal, making it hard to make a fast trip through the airports for delayed arrive.

Travellers who are not familiar with TSA control points or need help at control points often need extra times to finish the scanning procedure.
