This is because it can be time-consuming for you to stand in the queue to weigh your luggage, tag it, and hand it over to an airline employee. Often, there can be more waiting time during peak travel times. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Time\/season of your journey\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">The time of your travel can also significantly\u00a0impact\u00a0when\u00a0you should\u00a0reach the airport. For instance, you can expect crowded airports and long queues during the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. Also, experts say that\u00a0the airports\u00a0tend to be busier during weekdays, Mondays, and Fridays. So, reach the airport much earlier if\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0traveling during holidays or peak seasons.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Size of the airport\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">The airport size can also be a crucial factor. For instance, if the airport is big,\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0require more time to reach the gates from the security checkpoint. Some airports,\u00a0like\u00a0Denver,\u00a0have an intra-airport transport system to travel between concourses or\u00a0gates. However, while flying out from smaller airports like Austin or Charlotte,\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0have\u00a0to\u00a0walk a small distance to reach the gates.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Familiarity with the airport\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">If you\u2019re a frequent traveler from an airport, you\u2019ll know everything related to it \u2013 from the parking lots and terminals to where the boarding gates are. However, if you\u2019re flying out from a new airport, it is best that you arrive early to familiarize yourself with the surroundings. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Available parking lots\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">It is always best to avoid the trouble of finding parking as you arrive at the airport. If you\u2019re looking for a safe, guaranteed, and cheap airport parking spot, then most offsite lots near an airport offer free round-trip shuttle service. Booking via parking apps or websites ensures you have the best parking spot at the lowest rates when you drive to the airport. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Availability of TSA\u00a0PreCheck\u00a0or CLEAR\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Enrolling\u00a0in the TSA\u00a0PreCheck\u00a0program or CLEAR\u00a0can\u00a0expedite\u00a0the security screening process. Based on\u00a0the airport\u00a0you\u2019re\u00a0flying out\u00a0from and the time of\u00a0your\u00a0journey, programs\u00a0like TSA PreCheck can save considerable waiting time at security checkpoints. Around 200 airports in the\u00a0country have TSA PreCheck available. Also, some\u00a0airports have a dedicated lane for CLEAR.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Drop-off\u00a0transportation\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">You won\u2019t have to worry much if a friend or relative is dropping you off at the airport or you\u2019re arriving by taxi or a rideshare service. However, if you\u2019re driving, you\u2019ll take some time to park your car and walk to the airport entrance. Always keep in mind the distance of the parking lot from the departure entrance. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_early_should_you_arrive_when_using_offsite_parking\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">How early should you arrive when using offsite parking?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Parking at or near the airports requires buffer time, not just for parking but for drop-offs, boarding shuttles, and the queues that can be there. So, it is recommended that you reach your offsite parking at least 30 minutes prior to the estimated time to be at the airport. However, during peak travel season or weekends, it is safe to arrive at least an hour early. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">In addition, you should also\u00a0look into\u00a0the shuttle frequency at the lot and the distance to the terminals.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559685&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\" aria-level=\"3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_30_minutes_enough_for_offsite_parking\"><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Is 30 minutes enough for offsite parking?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335551550&quot;:0,&quot;335551620&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:281,&quot;335559739&quot;:281}\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">While 30 minutes is a safe buffer you give while parking at the offsite lots, it may not be\u00a0enough during holidays or peak travel hours.
