How far ahead transportation pick up?

To take you to the airport from your resort? I don’t want to pick a too early flight in case they come many hours ahead!

Services usually schedule at least three hours before a flight.

Normally a transportation company picks up between 3 and 3 1/2 hours before a domestic flight.

It used to be 3 hours but now that the service is not as widely used I'm finding it can be a bit earlier. We had a 10:10AM flight a few weeks ago and our pickup time was 6:35AM so 3 hours and 25 mins before our flight. Our experience was with Mears Connect.

Private car services will let you schedule as you see fit; that said, with PreCheck I’d recommend at least 2 ½ hours prior. Without at least 3.

We recently had a 4:00 a.m. pickup at WL for a 7:00 a.m. flight. We used curbside checkin for our flight (American). The security line was quite crowded.

I used Mears connect last month and we were picked up 3.5 hours before scheduled departure. Flew Southwest and was able to take advantage of their check-in counter right near where Mears drops off at MCO

How many ways can people answer "3+ hours?"
