@evan I aim for between 1 and 2 hours early for domestic flights. That is usually enough time to sit and eat something decent if nothing goes wrong, or make it on time if something does go wrong (long wait at security, etc.).

[countablenewt@mastodon.social]

@evan My general rule of thumb is over an hour beforehand

Though there are some times in smaller regional airports where I don't even show up to the airport until boarding starts and still make it in time (without TSA PreCheck)

Only missed one flight doing that and it was because of a random bag pull at security screening

@evan Doesn't it depend on the airport, the day, time of flight, and the destination?

@evan

As a trans person who expects to get harassed by the TSA, I have to expect delays, hence I arrive at least two hours before departure. That said, I've always hated flying, and haven't flown since I was last groped by the TSA in 2018.

@evan partly depends on the airport. The larger the airport the earlier I get there. Also depends on whether or not I have checked bags or not.

@evan I don't fly 🤷

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@funcrunch I'm sorry! That sucks.

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@eliasp OK

@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.

[jlin@cosocial.ca]

@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.

[benedikt@ruhr.social]

@eliasp @evan 👍me neither
