CDG->BCN on easyjet - What time should I arrive at the airport?

Hi - I am from the US (in case that makes a difference). I will be flying easyjet from CDG to BCN on a Thursday in October at 11AM. easyjet's website has put the fear of god in me re: missing the flight by being 5 seconds late, but I can't find guidance for when I should get to the airport. We will check in ahead of time, so we will be able to drop our checked bags and go straight to security (i.e., we won't have to wait in a check-in line first.) Thanks!

Ryan, That's considered a "domestic" flight rather than "international", but I'd recommend being at the airport at least two hours prior to flight time. EasyJet only has the check-in counter open for a specific time, and then closes it about 30-40 minutes before flight time. I always prefer to be early, even if the counter isn't open yet. One point to note is that they usually only allow ONE carry-on item. That doesn't mean "one plus a personal item such as a Laptop case", it means ONE ONLY of the approved size (and they often check the size of the carry-on). Also be very careful of your checked luggage weights. It's cheapest if you pay any overweight charges at the time of booking, as if they find your luggage is over when you check-in, the cost will be higher. Happy travels!
