SURPRISE ME!
Bags packed? All set for a vacation and ready to go? But hey, missing your flight just because you could not make it to the airport on time can be like the worst nightmare. Nor is it very exciting to wait at the airport for hours together before you board. However, being a little careful and reaching the airport on time can save you several anxiety ridden moments. Airlines like Airindia Express, GoAir and others have defined guidelines according to which one must be at the check-in counter 45 minutes prior to the departure time. However, arriving at the airport two hours prior is ideal if you are travelling to domestic destinations. This will give you enough time to get your baggage checked-in, go through the security check and to deal with any unexpected issues or delays that might come up at the last moment, especially if you are a first time traveller. Here are some airport tips for you to ensure that you reach the airport on time for your next flight.
Availing some information from the airline’s website before you leave home is of great help. For instance, if you are travelling by Jetlite, you can log onto its website and check the status of your flight a little in advance.
Reaching the airport: Make sure you have reliable transport to reach the airport. If you are booking a radio cab, call it well before the time you plan to leave to avoid any last minute confusion.
Go for web check-in: If travelling on a business trip, web check-in will help to save time after you reach the airport. In such cases, you can even afford to reach one and a half hours prior to your departure time.
Assistance on call for you! You can also check your flight status by calling the airport airline counter. Popular airlines like Air India Express and GoAir readily offer details to all their passengers.
On reaching the airport, make sure you keep your identity card, tickets, boarding pass or any other document required for travel handy.
Follow guidelines: Follow the advice of the airline and airport staff to avoid any hassles and to go through the entire check-in and boarding procedure smoothly.
A few precautionary measures will enable you to make it to the airport well in advance, allowing you sufficient time to tackle the hassles, if any! Make sure you book with MakeMyTrip, which offers flights, hotels and various holiday packages for you to choose from!
