PSM airport

[PrincesCJM]

Just wondering what, if any, experiences people have with flying in and out of PSM (Portsmouth NH). Specifically on Breeze. Price and times are good. I assume it's the sort of airport we don't need to be at 2 hours early but what sort of time frame (1.5 - 1 hr?)? I hate feeling rushed or that I'm late. Any issues with parking?

PSM is tiny- it's at the former Pease Airforce Base. I think being there an hour in advance should be enough, but I'd do 1.5hrs (I get travel-anxiety). I've never parked there (family in the area) so I'd check their website. I think it costs $7 a day, which is a bargain!

If you are checking bags Breeze has a 45min cut off time for checked bags. Although PSM is a small airport and you will probably, no pun intended, breeze through security you need to leave enough time to check those bags. With limited flights they may have limited staff and the checked bag line may take longer then security. If you get there only an hour before and there is a long line to check bags you may be out of luck even if you are in line before the 45min mark.

From the Breeze site:

• Checked bags will be accepted at the ticket counter two (2) hours before departure and no later than 45 minutes before flight time.
• Currently, bag tag kiosks are not available at our airports. Please bring your bags to our ticket counter.
