Airlines

Dozens of airlines serve LaGuardia, JFK and Newark airports. Due to heightened security at these airports, all airlines recommend you check in two hours in advance for domestic flights, and three hours in advance for international flights. During peak summer travel months, make every attempt to arrive at the airport even earlier. While American carriers generally assign seats in advance, most foreign airlines do not. In addition, some airlines require international travelers reconfirm their reservations by phone up to 72 hours prior to the flight. If you have questions or concerns about your flight, contact the airline directly for further assistance.

For Americans traveling overseas, you should find out well in advance whether you will require visas for the countries you are visiting. For a list of foreign consulates' websites, click HERE.
