Believe the Precaution

I sincerely doubted all the news that you should show up to the airport three hours before your flight. I though, my flight leaves very early on Sunday morning - no way I need that much time. Ok, so I left my house three hours before the flight, giving myself two and a half hours to go through security, figuring I would sit around reading for at least an hour.

It took the entire time to go through the security line. They were checking each bag by hand. I had to run to my gate to catch my flight. Get to the airport with a LOT of time. It's worth it.
