How early should we arrive for a flight? I looked on their website and it didn't say shit, and the 2 hour early timeline has been crap for years. We are leaving at 7am on Friday if it matters. Thanks.

1 hour to 1.5 hours is plenty, my roommate flies to cali once a month or so to see her bf, never has any issues. I always like to give myself plenty of time, better to be a little early than late.

A year ago I had a 700am flight. Two hours was not enough. Probably should of had 2 1/2+.

Last week, about 45 minutes would have been enough for a 400 pm Friday flight.

I like to people watch and I like airplanes so I get there before 2 hours. I've also never been bumped or missed a flight.

1 hour should be good, 1.5+ if you plan on parking and leaving your car there (seems to get packed quick).

In the middle of the week the security line is fairly short 3-8min... most of the time. Friday morning, I would figure at least 45-55 min from the time you walk in the door till your at the gate minimum. I would get there (inside) a little over an hour before the flight myself.

Why am I typing this? I'm not helping or telling you anything you don't already know. Get there early, sit at the gate, drink a cup of coffee and read something for 30-45min.

Thanks everyone. Got through security in about 15 minutes, and it only took that long because my daughter left a water bottle in her backpack. On out way to Shitcago.

I had the water bottle thing happen. Sealed bottle of water and after they run it through the analyzer to confirm it was water, wouldn't return it to me unless I went back to the "unsecure" side. Dude was all proud of himself that he found it. What they didn't notice was the 100oz hydration bladder that was full of water. Apparently a sealed 16 oz bottle of Dasani water is no bueno but 100 ozs of unknown liquid is ok.
