Getting to the airport with time to spare is the best way to kick off your jolly without the stress!
Timing is everything
We always recommend arriving at the airport at least 3 hours before your flight is due to take off. This gives you plenty of breathing room to breeze through security and—more importantly—gives you more time for a bit of duty-free browsing and a pre-flight coffee. Winner!
Know your terminal 🏢
Checking your terminal ahead of time means you can head straight to the right place. There are a few ways to stay in the loop:
Get Appy: If you’ve got the On the Beach app and your notifications are turned on, we’ll send a ping straight to your phone as soon as your terminal is confirmed! You’ll also see a handy notification waiting for you inside the app. More info on that here.
Check the airline: Pop over to your airline’s website or check your boarding pass—the terminal is usually listed right there.
Airport updates: Double-check your airport’s website for any live updates on security wait times or travel alerts.
Stay informed 🕵️
For the latest official travel advice, we recommend checking the gov.uk Air Travel site before you head off.
