Re: How early do you need to get to the Airport?

royorb...

Are you renting a car that has to be turned in at a satellite lot and then you take a shuttle to the terminal? If so, add time in for that.

Also, two trips ago, the line for security at the Orlando airport was wound around and around the roped-in areas, then wormed its way all the way down the hall. It took an excruciatingly long time to get through, and we had not planned enough time to wait patiently. I was really nervous about whether we'd even get on the plane.

Last trip, our flight was about the same time, 4 p.m. or so, and the line was non-existent. We waltzed through with no waiting. Of course, we had set aside extra time to get through a long security line, so we had too much time to wait at the gate.

So you just never know!
