Holidaymakers have been told not to follow this trend
Travel lers are being warned that they could risk ruining their holiday if they follow one bizarre trend that many are doing on TikTok. Flight experts have noted that the latest viral sensation, the “Airport Theory”, has exploded on the platform, amassing more than 382.9 million posts.
"That’s hundreds of dollars gone because you cannot wait at your gate. I’d wait 1-2 hours minimum at my gate because I’m so scared to miss my flight." “To ensure you have enough time to comfortably catch your flight and avoid missing out on your holiday, we recommend that UK travellers check in at least three hours before departure for long haul flights, two hours for European flights, and 1 hour for domestic flights. With all this in mind, we strongly advise against participating in this trend.”
In their final piece of advice, they advise people avoid waiting in the airport and instead check their flight updates and live travel news regularly. This can prevent waiting around in the airport when flights are potentially delayed. However, it's still recommended that travellers arrive at the airport as usual, in case of any changes.
