How early should i arrive at the airport to catch my flight?
Im flying out from Nashville to Dallas, and then dallas to Mexico. My flight leaves at 9:45am on a Thursday through American Airlines. So i was wondering how early i needed to arrive there to get there. Does anyone know if there is bad traffic in Nashville around 7am since it normally takes me an hour to get there? Also, will i have to go through security again when i switch planes?

I always think it's wise to allow a good couple of hours between your arrival and the final check-in time. Be sure to find out what that time is, though!

Domestic flights, allow 2 hours, and international allow 3. So you should be at the airport by 6:45. I'm guessing you should allow an extra half hour for driving just to be sure, so leave home at 5:15. Better to be bored at the airport than to miss your flight.

you should get there at least 2.5 hours before the flight that way it gives you time to check your luggage, go through security, relax and prepare yourself for the flight, and finally board the plane

I would arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before departure since you do have an international flight. As for traffic, sometimes there can be traffic at 7:00 am as people try to get to work. If it takes you 1 hour to arrive at the airport without traffic, budget 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours with traffic. Your flight to Mexico will probably leave Terminal D at DFW. I would imagine you would have to go through security again.
