Timing

When to leave for a flight from ROP

Leave home drive time + 2 hours before a domestic departure from ROP, or drive time + 3 hours before an international one.

Those buffers cover bag drop, security and the walk to the gate, but not getting from your car to the terminal — at a large airport like ROP, allow another 15–30 minutes to park and ride in, or 30–45 if you are returning a rental car.
