Kid Dynamite 7034 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'm flying to America tomorrow. I fly Newcastle to Heathrow first then get a connection to New York. My question is, how early do I have to get to the airport? Normal protocol for internal flights is 1 hour before takeoff, but for flights to America its normally 3 hours?

Kid Dynamite 7034 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 I know that, but I'm getting an internal flight first so Im not sure whether I need to get there that early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven 0 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Depends what time the flight is. If it's the 7am, just go for 6am. You aren't going through transatlantic security until heathrow anyway. If it's a bit later then probs a hour and half before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Check with the airline/airport, they should have that sort of information online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoretically it's 30 mins but if you are checking bags all the way you don't want to scrape it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 71 Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Are we talking 3d or 5d reality? Cause in 5d you can go when you like and still get there on time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
