Imagine this: you're getting ready to catch a flight, and someone suggests that arriving late at the airport can sometimes be a smart idea. It might sound strange, but a flight attendant has shared some interesting thoughts about this.
Kamila Jakubjakova, a flight attendant shared that instead of following the usual idea of reaching the airport two hours before European flights, Jakubjakova suggests trying something different. She says you could think about coming a little later, which might bring you some surprising advantages.
Usually, we're told to reach the airport way ahead of our flight time. But this new idea suggests that we don't always have to rush. This doesn't mean it's for everyone or every situation, but there are some cases where it could work.
One thing to think about is the airport itself. Some airports are big and busy, while others are smaller and less chaotic. If you're flying from a smaller airport, you might not need to come hours before your flight. The lines for security and all aren't as long, so you can take it a bit easy.
Also, the way we do things has changed. With technology, we can check-in online and get our boarding passes on our phones. This makes the process quicker. So, if you've done all that online stuff, you might not need as much extra time at the airport.
