Every traveler feels different about how early to get to the airport… which one are you?
🕔 The Ultra‑Early Planner - Arrives way before boarding, coffee in hand, zero stress. Already through security like a pro.
🕕 The “Right on Time” Pro -Knows their airport routine, cuts it close...but not too close. Confident. Calculated. Calm.
🕖 The Buffer Builder - Shows up a little early “just in case.” Might browse shops. Definitely checks the gate... twice.
🕘 The Last‑Minute Sprinter - Running through the terminal, boarding pass on the phone, hoping the gate agent hasn’t closed yet.
