Just printed boarding pass.

[NikP]

I just printed out our boarding passes for Southwest out of Buffalo. Departure is 7:05am. What time should we be at the airport by?

I have done the 7:05 flight before and usually arrive at the airport between 4:45 and 5:00. We usually have enough time to sit and have breakfast once we get through security.

The security there can be tricky sometimes....we have had times for the early flights where we have got through quickly, then other times....whoa, took an hour or more to get through, then running to our plane. Therefore we try not to cut it too close, plus, what is another 15 or 30 minutes extra of sleep? Not worth it to be late in my books.

Have a great trip, we are on the evening flight tomorrow!

I see in your signature that you are staying at POFQ too. I love this resort. Have a great holiday! It is nice to know some fellow Canadians will be at our resort.

Yup, we will be there, just look for me with two 15 year olds in tow....we will have our LGMH's on us somewhere.

I always take this flight and we usually arrive around 6. We find this has always given us enough time (we don't have small kids in tow and take this flight several times a year)....the official recomendation would be 90 mins to two hours prior. You will find this to be more the norm and probably more in your comfort zone!!!

Maybe we will see you there -- enjoy my favorite resort!!! Can't wait to hear all about it when you return!

Please give yourself lots of time. We flew out on the early flight a couple of weeks ago and it took more than 45 minutes to get through security. There were several announcements within the airport to the effect that "Flight XXX is now closed. If you are still in the security line, please return to your airline counter to make alternate arrangements."
We got there about 1-3/4 hours ahead of time and it worked out well for us. By the time we checked our luggage and got through security, we had very little wait time until boarding.

That was the time we did the "airport run"....we had arrived at the airport with NO bags to check at 5:45 and at 6:45 we were still in the security line, I went out of line and spoke with someone, they pushed us through, but then we had to do the RUN..............and it is a long run down that hall

We had a 6:55 flight, arrived at airport at 5:30. 30 min to get through security. 5 min wait to cross peace bridge at 5:00am. Timing was perfect. Only thing I can recommend is get your boarding passes right at the 24hr before time. I went on at 7:05 and got A boarding for wife and I, B for 2 kids. Worked out for seating as we just saved 2 seats for the kids.
