They have enough of two hours of waiting at the airport. They test a risky trend

Tiktok is a Chinese application that can inspire travelers and suggest interesting tricks to cheaper and more pleasant travels, unfortunately it also has its worse side. This time one of the popular trends aroused controversy.

Airport theory. They appear for control at the last minute

It’s about “airport theory”. Passengers check if they are enough for only 15 or 20 minutes before departure to go through the safety control and not waste much time at the airport. Airlines recommend to come to them at least 2 hours before a short -distance flight and three hours before a long flight. However, thickets fall into the airport at the last minute and they often succeed.

“Currently, it is 9:24, and Boarding for my flight has started four minutes ago. We are now when controlling security, so let’s see how quickly we can go through it,” said one of the thickets who tested the theory in Los Angeles. In his case, the boarding was delayed. It worked.

Much, however, depends on happiness. Some showed that the idea may end with closed goals.

Do you have to be two hours earlier before the flight?

Some understand where this seemingly crazy trend came from.

“Airlines and airports give very conservative guidelines because, first of all, they do not want to be blamed by” protruding cases “in which someone appears closer to departure and is late for their flight,” said Gary Leff, a blogger and a traveler from Texas, who joined the trend. “Secondly, they benefit from the presence of passengers who are there earlier, ready to travel and spend money in stores,” he added. Newsweek wrote that the trend is a recipe for a disaster, while American transport safety administration in a joking entry in a joking entry assessed the trend on 0 on a scale of 10.

You probably have often seen queues on smaller pilots and the staff who ask if there are people waiting for specific flights to pass them earlier. It happens that waiting is also high at peak hours and when accumulating flights at a similar time. A supply of two hours does not always turn out to be useful, but it can save nerves and lost money in case of late.
