Airports can be very busy places in the summer season and we recommend giving yourself some extra margin for all pre-flight procedures. For long-haul flights (across the Atlantic or from/to South Africa), you should check in al leas two hours before departure time. For short and medium flights (within Spain, to the rest of Europe, and to North Africa), you should check in at least 90 minutes before your flight. Remember that if you are travelling to the USA or Puerto Rico, you must have the electronic travel authorisation (ESTA) required by U.S. authorities. This authorization can be obtained only through the web site https:/esta.cbp.dhs.gov. Also, remember that you must come to the boarding gates al least 20 minutes before your flight is scheduled to take off. You should check the information panels at the airport to see if there has been any last-minute change to your flight.

During takeoff and landing of the aircraft your may feel pressure in your ears. To avoid discomfort. close you nose with your fingers and exhale gently but without expelling the air.
