Am I likely to run into a deep dive security review that requires many hours prior to check-in? I'm worried because I'd be going for meetings that will run late into the night before an early AM flight.

Thanks,

IŽd probably recommend arriving at the airport 90min before scheduled boarding time (typically 30min before departure for European flights / up to 60min for US-bound flights), so arriving 2.5h beforehand should be plenty IMO.

That is if youŽre a WASP, can prove you were there for business (eg. carry a business invitation letter etc.) and have no Arab stamps in your passport. Otherwise add some extra time.
