Have you heard about the “airport theory”?
If you think you can beat the clock and arrive at the airport just 15 minutes before your flight? The airport theory is putting this daring idea to the test.
Whether you're a thrill-seeking traveller who lives in the rush of almost missing your flight or you're just tired of spending hours waiting around the airport, the latest social media trend is sure to intrigue you.

This daring trend involves arriving at your gate a mere 15 minutes before departure. Yep, you read that right, 15 minutes!
The theory goes that you can breeze through security and board your plane just in the nick of time, all while avoiding the tedious wait at the airport.
TikTok users have been putting the airport theory to the test, with some impressive (and not-so-impressive) results.
One user successfully made it to their gate with just two minutes to spare, while another... well, let's just say they won't be winning any awards for punctuality.
Of course, there are some caveats to this theory. For one, you must have a good understanding of the airport layout and security procedures. You'll also need to be prepared for any unexpected delays or setbacks.
Let's be real, this theory is probably not the best idea if you're travelling with a large group or have a lot of luggage.
@momlifewithtiff Definitely do not recommend trying the #airporttheory. Will certainly be getting to the airport 2 hours early from now on. #travelhacks #missedflight #allegiantair #flying #airport #airporttips #flyingtips ♬ there she goes - 🎸🪩
