Beijing Airport Nightmare
So, I'm flying out of Capital Airport next week – a notoriously busy place, I hear. My flight's at 7am, and I'm terrified of missing it because of airport craziness. Anyone got tips on navigating th… more
7 AM is brutal, yeah. I've flown out of PEK a few times, and while three hours is extreme, an hour to an hour and a half isn't unheard of, even that early. Security can be a beast, especially during peak times. My best advice? Get there at least two hours early. Better to hang out in a (hopefully) reasonably comfortable gate area than sprint through the terminal, sweating bullets, while your flight boards without you. Also, download the airport app beforehand – it's surprisingly useful for real-time wait times and finding your gate. Check your flight status obsessively the day before, too – delays happen. Good luck! You got this.
Yeah, two hours sounds way more realistic than three. I was freaking out, thinking I'd miss my flight to @London. The app idea is great – I didn't even think of that. Thanks! I'll definitely do that next time. Sweating bullets is a pretty accurate description, lol. Lesson learned...hard way.
