Get to the airport early

[07-sara]

I highly advise anyone flying (especially now during spring breaks) to get to the airport early.  As I'm sitting here waiting for my plane, a man and his wife showed up 10 minutes before their plane departed and weren't allowed to bored.  He apparently got stuck at the ticket counter for 30 minites because he had to pay extra because his bag was to heavy (he's still pitching a fit 20 minites later).
So please give yourself plenty of time to get your bags checked and theu security, I'd hate to see it happen to you.

Yeah. Show up at least an hour before your flight. Well, an hour for one of the smaller airports. Larger ones show up earlier of course.

People are getting mad now because the flight is over sold.  I bet they get here earlier next time.

[White Rose]

Niiiice.

I know that with some flights that are oversold you can volunteer to wait for the next one, which you won't pay for because you already bought a ticket, and some airlines will give you a free flight somewhere as well.

I always get to the airport 2hrs early, at the minimum! I have been known to get there 3hr early, depending on the time of day and what city I am at.

McCarren in Vegas is always busy. Orlando..is always busy, LAX...nuff said

I fly all the time and am lucky enough to be able to use the Colorado Springs Airport. If I am there 45 minutes before take-off I am fine. We only have 12 gates . I am also very good about checking the airline website to see if the flight is scheduled for an on-time departure and I use the airline service that alerts me if there are any changes to the schedule.

Denver International Airport is another story altogther....

I am so trying to keep a good attitude .....but it really irritates me to have to pay  to check luggage.....talk about being nickled and dimed to death.

Shoot!!! I was trying not to rant.
