How many hours before your flight do you arrive at the airport?

[lakelady@mstdn.social]

@evan yeah, I saw that link after I replied.

[lakelady@mstdn.social]

@evan but if you don't want conversation about choices then why post a poll?

[kletskous@mastodon.social]

@evan About two hours, bur I think it's absurd that I have to.

[chigaze@mstdn.ca]

@evan At least two hours, even for domestic. I’d rather hag out a little after getting through security than have to run.

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@lakelady I don't mind conversation. It's my favourite part. I love it when people say, it depends on X and Y, so I answered Z because W. I don't like when people tell me that a poll is broken or wrong because it doesn't factor in 14 different variables.

@evan i get there way early to watch airplanes

[lakelady@mstdn.social]

@evan reading your link about "it depends" doesn't sound like you are interested in the "it depends" part of the conversation. Color me confused.

@eliasp @evan 👍me neither

[chad@mstdn.ca]

@evan there’s a Chili’s still at the YEG airport - so enough time for that. :)

[chigaze@mstdn.ca]

@chad @evan Ah yes, when we're travelling across the Atlantic we always go to the YEG airport with enough time for a breakfast beer at Chili's. If we're flying at night and need to sleep we go to Belgian Beer Café for something to knock us out.

@evan National: 2 hours (for CATSA or other appropriate security control org)
International: 3 hours, if I need to go through outbound border control. Otherwise, see national

Voted based on my regular use case.

@evan I drive from home 2h before departure. It takes close to an hour to get there. I have a comfortable amount of time in an airport I know very well, small by most standards and I have trustworthy experience-based prediction of most distances, checkpoints and waits.

@evan One time, I got a capsule at a capsule hotel connected to the airport the night before

@evan
When kiddo flies out west, her booking package always says how long ahead to arrive. It's usually been 2 hours, but istr at least one flight only recommended one.

[brunogirin@mastodon.me.uk]

@evan it depends on the flight: within the EU: 90 minutes; outside the EU: 2 to 3 hours.

[halcy@icosahedron.website]

@evan 2 EU (quasi-domestic), 3 outside

@lakelady it's fine if you talk about it. It's nice if you talk about it in a way that doesn't imply that I need to change something. I've said that twice; please don't ask again.
