If its international, 2 hours. If its domestic, about an hour to an hour and a half.

International: 2 hours.
I don't live far from the airport, but I still get there early for a domestic flight. |

I get there 1 1/2 hours to an hour just because we only have 4 terminals and it's a small small airport

I aim for getting there 1.5 hours prior to departure, to allow for stupidity on the road/in the parking lot/in the baggage drop line/in the security line.

I travel for work about once a month. I usually give myself an hour from the time I get to the off-site parking lot. Security here is typically quite fast, and
I'm Gold Elite so I can go through the expedited lane.
But there are some airports I go to where I definitely would leave myself more time if they were my home airport. |

At least 2 hours and that is usually more than enough time.

I was always told to be at the airport for check in and stuff 2 hours prior to the departure time.

The airport is always busy. I think we usually leave 2 hours before.

If it's a 6 AM flight, an hour before should be good. Unless you're flying out of a larger airport, then maybe arrive at 4:30.

You are all early birds. For domestic flights, I make sure I arrive 45 minutes before departure, and give myself 30 minutes to pass security. I have become a
pro because I don't check in my luggage.
For international, 2 hours. |

I always allow way extra time because I've had stuff come up before. I liked to be checked in and through security at least an hour before my flight
boards.
