I'd much rather arrive early to the airport and end up sitting around for an extra hour than be rushed and worried

I’m not a boomer, but it seems like every time I try to arrive “just in time”

I get there early, sit in a lounge, and have never once been close to missing a flight. Worth it.

Well yes, but traveling doesn’t always allow you to get to bed early.

Probably the most incorrect statement I’ve read on this website. They knife everyone in the back to skip the security

And then they'll board before their boarding group to snag overhead space...
