Your Klook account. During your activity. CBP closely monitors the flight processing times, commonly referred to as wait times, for arriving flights at the busiest international airports.
The data provided in this report will show the number of passengers processed on flights arriving in each hour based on how long it took for those passengers to clear Passport Control. Usually, this requires you to fill out every information you have about your bag as well as your travel plans.
If you can, provide as detailed a description of your bag as possible. Describe the color and material of the bag, the brand, and any other identifying tags that might be on it. Usually, airlines are willing to provide compensation for your bag. They will often provide you with amenity kits and reimburse you to some extent, especially when they learn that your luggage was left behind. In case your luggage is nowhere to be found, you can still ask the airline what they will cover.
Pro tip: Sometimes, if the airline discovers that they did accidentally leave your luggage behind, they will try to ask you if you can return to the airport to pick up your luggage when it arrives. Do not agree, but instead politely and firmly decline. Tip: If you want to increase the chances of finding lost luggage, consider getting a GPS tracker , with which you can easily find out where is your checked luggage at any moment.
When you land at the airport of your destination, you need to make your way to the baggage claim area. Most airports also have signages to point you where to go. Baggage carousels often have big, bold numbers so you can spot them right away and wait in line with the rest of the other passengers for your bags to appear.
Whenever I have to fetch someone from the airport I usually arrive at the airport on the estimated arrival time resulting me spending useless time in the arrival hall. Can you get a reasonable estimate how long it takes to get through? I am specifically interested in long hauls, because schengen flights or short hops is usually a question of minutes.
There is no formula that can tell you the exact waiting time for every airport in the world, there are many factors:. Each factor of the above factors can add few minutes to the check-out process, sometimes all of these factors come together making it an hour or even more. There are also other factors that can add to this, such as gates locations, some airports have gates that are so far from the immigration counters, DXB comes in mind. Also, taxi time, some airports have a big ramp, aircraft can literally taxi for more than 15 minutes before reaching the gate, JED comes in mind.
The answer from MeNoTalk is excellent, basically it varies. I wanted to give you a few ideas of how to find out for a given airport. There may be a thread on FlyerTalk about it for example.
Many airports publish target and actual queuing times for immigration here's Heathrow so you can get a rough idea about that and adjust based on the factors in the other answer. Note that some factors cancel out -- immigration and baggage reclaim for instance, generally you only need to worry about the longest one, they don't add the time together.
You can also look up the minimum time to change flights at the airport, which will give you some idea of the in airport travel time and maybe passport control if they quote for flight changes going through passport control -- i. Schiphol from the KLM website.
The best idea is to find someone who's done a similar flight with similar conditions. One other thing you can try is phoning an airport limo or private car service, they generally arrange the car to meet an incoming flight and they'll have some idea of the average touch-down to out-the-door time. Although how you get them to tell you that is up to you.
On long-haul, I'd watch the real-time flight information just Google the flight number to check for delays. Then probably aim to be at the airport 20 to 25 minutes after that. And take a good book. As a thumb rule and it's as good as it is I plan to arrive around 30 min. Never before. It usually works out. Of course this may depend a lot on the country and conditions as others mentioned, but in general it works out.
