how long before departure time should i be at the boarding gate
When do I need to be at the boarding gate? For flights within the U.S., all customers must be on board the aircraft 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time. We recommend being at the boarding gate at least 15 minutes before departure to ensure that youâre on the aircraft before the doors are closed. For international flights, we encourage you to be at the gate no later than 30 minutes before your scheduled departure.
