When it comes to heading to the airport to catch a flight, there are two types of travelers out there: The “three hours before, grab a coffee and people-watch” types… or the “I’m gonna risk it and cut it close” type.

There’s a new trend making waves on TikTok right now called Airport Theory, this wild idea where people show up at the airport as little as 15 minutes before their flight boards. Yup — No checked bags, boarding pass ready, and it’s basically a race against time through security to your gate. Fashionably late… or dangerously close to missing your flight? 

Audrey and Ryan chat about this theory, and how late – or brave – you’re willing to get!
