It looks like we are really similar, @RTG113 lol. When de-boarding, I usually wait for everyone to start de-boarding before getting my back to de-board myself. It was a lot of fun doing these questions.
It depends on the airport, and the season. If its LGA or JFK during peak season, you should show up two-three hours in advance, you never know what security is going to be like.
If it is off season, or a smaller less-crowded airport, an hour is enough time.
Also, I assume the question was referring to before boarding, and not before scheduled departure.
When dropping relatives/friends off at LGA/JFK, we usually like to get there 2 hours before their scheduled departure time.
When we fly out of ISP, 90 minutes is enough. Sometimes there is a decent check in and security line, but usually we spend no more than 30 minutes in total going through check in and security
(ISP has both curbside and regular interior check in, we usually use curbside)
An airport like ISP must be awesome for Long Islanders. You can pretty much anywhere near the East Coast with a direct flight from there, the flight prices are competitive, and the airport is also really nice.
Yea definitely. I love it, but whenever new airlines come in, all the residents surrounding the airport and under the flight paths cry about “too much noise” and “not wanting it to become the next jfk”
It sounds like SNA in orange county. The noise procedures are in effect only because of people filing suits against the airport due to noise. Whenever it gets brought up, I remember a story of a funny SWA flight attendant who said something along the lines of “Everybody shh, we are passing over rich people” after a departure from SNA.
Hmm… good one. I usually try to sneak into the rows up front and look into the windows. Also I purposefully try to stall my family to stay on the plane longer, because why not?
When you’re in close proximity of the cockpit when you’re in business going to the cockpit is not a hard thing. The part of shame is no cockpit photos allowed for cathay
@RTG113. MaxSez: Interesting how willing individuals are to reveal their travel habits, seating choices, booking reference ect. on a public forum to an address or person they’ve never met or vetted. I don’t know how much credibility I’d put into the results of this travel survey when collated anyway. At a minimum 80% of the respondsnce fly on there parents dime or there collage fed loan. The non-payers have no real choice in travel arrangement I’ll wager. Dad & Mom tell you when, where and why and you just go with the flow. No survey for me 113 it none of yr bee’s wax… LOL
I usually fly Buisness Class, but if i do rarely fly and pick where i want to sit, its always the back Because i cant get any good scenery photos with the wing in my way)
