TripHip - Travel Tips and Advice for Traveling on a Budget

Not exactly a surprising tip, but you do need to head to the airport with *plenty* of time to spare. An hour before your flight won't cut it.

With today's extra security checks, it's recommended that you give yourself at least an extra 3 hours before your flight. Give yourself even more time if you have a long drive into the airport from your home. Delays can pop up on public transport, and traffic snarls can slow down your taxi.

Better to get up at the crack of dawn, than to miss your precious flight.
