Air traveler sparks debate after revealing he arrives at airport 6 hours before flight; TSA weighs in

A viral TikTok video posted by a comedian has grabbed the attention of social media users who travel.

In the video the user says, "I get to the airport six and a half hours early."

"I've never felt so safe and understood," one user wrote, appearing to agree with the video message.

"I'm late to everything EXCEPT the airport," said one user.

"I'm a 2-3 hours early person," another user commented.

One TikToker added, "And I thought I was extreme showing up 3 hours before."

Another user added, "We turned up at the airport 6 hours before once, it was so boring."

The TikTok user who posted the video confirmed to Fox News Digital that the video was a joke.

"Families will be traveling with small children to spend the holiday with other family members and seniors will be doing the same. Often, families with children have lots of carry-on items," the TSA spokesperson said.

"And seniors who perhaps only travel once a year (at Thanksgiving) take a little longer to go through the screening process because they are not familiar with the process."
