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

@funcrunch I'm sorry! That sucks.

@evan yeah, I saw that link after I replied.
-
@evan but if you don't want conversation about choices then why post a poll?
-
@evan About two hours, bur I think it's absurd that I have to.
-
@evan At least two hours, even for domestic. I’d rather hag out a little after getting through security than have to run.

@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

@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.

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

@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 nationalVoted based on my regular use case.
