Flight Check-In time?

[wvjules]

Flight leaves PIT at 7:40am on a Wednesday. What time do you think I need to be at the airport?

We fly out of Pittsburgh. Depending on where you're parking your car (we use off-site Charlie Brown's & their shuttle), we usually try to arrive at the terminal 1 to 1-1/2 hours before our flight departs. We find it a good idea to get one of the first flights out to avoid security checkpoint backups. Wait until you see the security lines at MCO on your return - allow 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

Have a good one.

Security lines can be long for that time of the morning so I would allow at least 1 1/2hours. I would rather be sitting at the gate or strolling the air mall then stressing over getting through security at PIT. They are talking about building another security checkpoint because of the crowds.

Wow, an hour and a half? That means I'll need to be there at 6ish, which means I'll have to leave home at 4ish, which means I need to get up at 3!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm, parking will be around $50. Maybe I should stay at a nearby hotel with free parking and airport shuttle at a little more cost, but I'll get to sleep in a little more.

Go to parksleepfly.com and get a room! We are staying at the Comfort Suites the night before we leave PIT in October. Kind of like an added vacation day, and you get more sleep in the am! (We are 2+hours from PIT) The cost will be about the same (Parking vs hotel) for us, but the covenience is worth it!
