What time should we be at the airport?

[MickyC]

Gutted to find out that TC have withdrawn the Sundown Check-in at Manchester.

We fly at 10:15am so is it 3 hours prior that you have to be at the airport ?

We have already chosen our seats so not worried about that but want to make sure the Mrs isn’t stressing out as per usual 🤣

Yes its 3 hours before your flight. Have a wonderful time.

3 hours. Plenty of time to get through security and have a leisurely walk through duty free then a relaxed breakfast. Then back to Boots for meal deal for daughter hates lane food Plus water for the flight.

Same! I love having flights this early. Means I am likely to sleep on the plane when ususally I never do and ususally tackle jet lag a bit quicker!

Plus it's so exciting being in the airport that early. Just a fun experience!

I’m not so good with the sleeping on the plane part haha I’m too excited. But getting up in the middle of the night was always the start of the holiday for me when I was a kid.

I won’t sleep the night before anyway. We’re staying at the premier inn the night before and don’t need to be at the airport until 8.30. But I will be awake most of the night and bouncing off the walls haha.

You don't have to be fhere 3 hours before, that's usually when check-in/bag drop opens and usually when the biggest queue will be. As long as you get to y
the airport before check-in closes then it doesn't really matter when you get there. I wouldn't personnally leave it that late just in case there is any delays getting to the airport.

We are also flying from Manchester, staying the night at Radisson in airport. Flight is 10:45, have breakfast booked with hotel and have seats booked on flight. What time do you think we could safely leave the Radisson. With breakfast is a prosecco
Bar so would prefer to be at the hotel not spending any more money in the airport.
