Don't know if 45 years old makes me a "boomer" but I travel a lot for work filming documentaries; I have a few thoughts:

I am not sure if this makes you a boomer but it does sound like you are bad at travel.

Baron

Cool.

Vanilla

1 is crazy early. 2. Is a very high rate of issues. Make it like 1 in 25. 3. I’ve

haha, okay, I'll bite...

Vanilla

Or you see disagreement as bad faith. It is not. People can say you are wrong in good faith

Baron

Dec 27, 11:06am

Okay.

Vanilla

Stating that Vanilla is 'bad at travel' is an insult to the way

1 in 5 absolutely happens if you carryon equipment. Even thru the precheck line.

Although I don't do as you, I don't agree with Baron's conclusions.

Bad at travel is not an insult.

Baron

Dec 27, 11:01am

Sure, Marsha.

I'm not offended by someone who is constantly seeking to offend people.

Vanilla

I wonder if superkid and Baron are brothers or just bff's. Have you ever noticed how they do this ridiculous little

Baron + Superkid

Vanilla

Dec 27, 11:10am

Maybe they are partners in crime or something?

Archaea

Dec 27, 11:14am

Just BFFs.

Always ready with the insults. A 45 yo is not a boomer.

I think that makes you a genx

You travel in groups and with lots of unique equipment. Your scenario is unique

Criticizing someone for being "early" is weird but it's what the illuminati here

Thank you for validating my opinion.

Superkid

Dec 27, 11:29am

I'm not sure you need anyone to validate your opinion. You don't strike me as that type of guy.

Vanilla

If you're like me and only take a carry on

For me, traveling alone with just a carry-on, one hour early at the most

You get flagged more due to equipment. I went thru TSA 50 times PY 1 bag check.

Each to his own, but 3 hrs early is never “needed”. Ever.

I usually travel with just a carry-on and have TSA and global entry. I'll take

You can't sweet talk upgrades anymore

Even status people usually can't "sweet talk."

Archaea

2.5 hours early sounds excessive. But you'll surely be safe.

Traveling by yourself and traveling with a group can be very different.

My goal is to get to the gate within 10 minutes of them starting to board.

I missed a flight once in 2011, but I knew there were other flights to the same

Superkid

I missed one at Frontier despite being there 40 min before departure because

Frontier is the literal worst. I think Spirit is/was slightly better.
