UK travellers planning flights departing from airports in the European Union are being advised to arrive at the airport three hours before their scheduled departure. This recommendation aims to help passengers manage possible delays during check-in and flight connections.

The guidance was reported on 30 May 2026 by The Guardian and highlights the need for those travelling through EU airports to allow additional time ahead of flights. The advice specifically targets British nationals using EU airports as part of their journey home.
