Everything you need before you get to the airport
AirportCheatSheet is a practical, independently-written guide to the airports you actually fly through. For each one we lay out the terminal structure, parking options and rough rates, how to get to and from the airport, where the lounges are, Wi-Fi, and how to survive a long layover — the essentials, without the fluff.
We are not affiliated with any airport or airline, and rates and layouts change, so we date every guide and link the official airport site to confirm. Start with a guide above, jump to your airport, or skim the common questions below.

Frequently asked questions
＋ − How early should I get to the airport?
A good rule of thumb is 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international one — but it varies by airport. Big hubs with long security lines (like LAX, JFK, or Heathrow at peak times) can need more, while smaller airports need less. Each airport guide here notes typical security waits and layout so you can plan.
＋ − Is airport parking cheaper if I book in advance?
Almost always, yes. Drive-up rates at the terminal are the most expensive option. Pre-booking an on-airport or nearby off-site lot is usually significantly cheaper, and you lock in a guaranteed spot. Every airport page shows the parking options and rough rates so you can compare.
＋ − Can I sleep in the airport during a long layover?
At many airports, yes — some are famously comfortable for it, with quiet zones, rest areas, or even sleep pods, while others close terminals overnight or discourage it. Our layover section for each airport tells you what to expect and where the best spots are.
＋ − How do I get online at the airport?
Most major airports offer free Wi-Fi, though some cap the free session length or require a quick sign-in. We list each airport's Wi-Fi setup, and if you want data the moment you land, a travel eSIM avoids the airport queues entirely.
