Another day, another TikTok trend. This time, creators are testing “airport theory.” It basically means playing chicken: getting to the airport only 15 to 20 minutes before boarding time and trying to make their flight. Many creators have (supposedly) had success, too.

At the same time, let’s be realistic: With security lines, checking baggage and lots of other travelers running around, how much can we trust the airport theory?
HuffPost turned to travel experts and an airport employee for their thoughts on whether this is a realistic strategy.
Airport theory success: Is it fact or fiction?
