How long do you need to get to the airport?

I think they are getting more strict about checking in early. I used to use 1 hour but now i think i've pushed it back to 2.

I think it depends on the airport. I usually give myself two hours to be on the safe side.

I always give myself two hrs. just in case there is a traffic delay or something. I usually get an e-ticket which makes everything easier and I only have a carry on bag.

If its a domestic flight i usually give about 1hr 30min and for an international i give 2hrs unless its London, for London i get there 3hrs in advance (as the last time i was there it took over 2hrs to check in!)

I am in between 2 to 2.5 on any flight. I like to be on the safe side

Well, I give myself 2 hours or 2 hours and a half.. Why? Well, we cannot tell the instances that might happen.. Like heavy traffic, or some accident that we cannot avoid, or there's a problem with the car.. So it is better to be well prepared on that kind of situation.. Better to arrive in the airport early!

I usually give myself two hours just to be sure. I'm also considering unavoidable circumstances like traffic, etc...
