Are you even a true Pakistani if your dad doesn’t force you to reach the airport 3 hours before the boarding time? If the flight’s at 10, you have to be there at 7, no questions asked!
What's with desi dads wanting to reach the airport hours before you're supposed to? Is it like a nice place to spend some idle time?

A Twitter user wanted to know why and fellow tweeple have come forward to answer!

Makes sense!
This is an age factor. We reach an age when rushing at the last minute doesn't look anymore thrilling. I have been through this.

Same!
No i think its something different bcz its not specific to airport. Same story for Railway station, bus stop, market, hospital, shadi hall, even they wait for Careem outside house.

People were sharing their personal experiences:
It's bcs of so many unforeseen issue possible at an airport. Better to be early. Personal examples:
1. Immigration got delayed by 1.5 hrs because server was down n barely reached the gate in time.
2. Too many passengers due to hajj, took me 2 hrs just to enter the terminal.

Okay!
Depends upon the airport. I like to personally spend some chill time at the departure lounge and watch people board to different destinations m.

Hahaha!
Been travelling for ages now but I can see the wisdom init now aswell. In the past you had to(1) confirm your ticket then (2)reconfirm it 😂 after all that still you had to reach 3hours before flight otherwise some ahole on boarding will give it to someone else😂I kid you not

My parents were going to Turkey and I called Abu in the night to ask why haven’t I reached the airport yet 😅

Omg, mujhay bhi!
مجھے لگتا تھا کہ ائیرپورٹ پر فلائٹ سے 3/4 گھنٹے پہلے ہی پہنچنا ہوتا ہے۔

Desi dads have severe anxiety which has always been left untreated.
