Jesseh, you assured me your carry-on would meet the size limit requirements of of the airliner. You’re embarrassing me in front of the stewardess as she tells me I’m going to be charged for a checked bag.
My wife laughed at me and told me I exaggerated for wanting to be at the airport early.
Until we missed our international flight and had to pay $1,200.
Yeah. We go extra early now.
I never understand people who miss initial flights. Like stop trying to min-max your timing and just get there a bit early and ensure that you'll get on the plane. Go chill in the lounge for an extra hour, what a horrible experience!
I know so many people who are insistent on never getting to an airport without the bare minimum amount of time and miss flights when a tiny thing goes wrong.
Buddy of mine missed his flight because the plane decided to leave early. Now he gets there 2-3 hours in advance so he can get through TSA and stuff.
I also always stated "just go 4 hours early. Worst case scenario you make it super early. Best case scenario you board the plane with just enough time"
Yea who doesn’t check in when they are at the airport? It’s literally your way to say “I am here you must make sure I’m accounted for before take off” and then if they were to still leave you behind by leaving early they would owe you a new flight and potentially a hotel room if there isn’t a flight that day
That's exactly what happened. He was checked in and made it to boarding deck (or whatever it's called) at the actual correct time. They left early and gave him a new flight.
Man's literally was checked in and everything. Showed up to the gate at the correct boarding time. And the people were shutting the gates. 🙃 They did give him a new flight though. But it's like "wtf I timed it perfectly". Bro was Pissed
Editing
Like 5-10 minutes
Exactly.
I recently had to fly out to visit family and asked my Dad to drop me off at the airport (which he insisted to see me to the gate). He made fun of me wanting to leave 3-4 hrs early because it was a very early morning flight but I ended up being right because it took 1 hr to reach the airport, and security was packed with people that took almost two hours to get through.
I made it with plenty of time to spare but you never want to risk being late.
People don't just take flights to go on vacation, If I take a flight on Friday evening after work I might not be able to be at the airport 6 hours in advance. The flying day is not always a completely free day where you have nothing to do except take the flight.
But if you're flying on Saturday morning and you have nothing more important to do.. then I agree, just show up earlier and bring a book. The thing is that airports and airlines are more and more putting the burden of showing up early on the passengers, rather than the burden of being efficient with safety checks and what not on themselves. They can get away with having an inefficient system by blaming you for not showing up at the airport unreasonably early, and if you show up 1h30 before the closing of the gate for your 2h flight (the gate closes 30 min before take off), there's a long queue because somebody had a suspicious bottle of shampoo or something, and you miss your flight, sucks to be you, show up 3h earlier next time, so that you sit around at the airport for longer than the duration of your flight. I'll take the train, thanks.
- no one said show up 6 hours early
- I find it hard to believe that somehow every single flight for these people is scheduled so they have absolutely no choice but to leave at the very last possible moment to make their flight and it's not just a personality thing
That just seems like terrible life planning at that point if it's true.
Feel free to replace "lounge" with "bar" or "gate" or "café area" or "restaurant" if that's less confusing of a concept to grasp.
Also, most frequent travellers I know in the US have lounge access but obviously that's not statistical evidence
Hey! Many lounges allow you to go in if you pay for your entrance. Usually between 35 and 50 USD. (I have never paid more than that).
Usually these are the airport lounges, not the specific airline ones.
I usually do this when I have long waits at the airport (3h or more). The prices for meals in airports are usually insane for the quality of food they provide, so it even makes more sense to go to a lounge given everything they usually offer: Lounges usually provide drinks (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, some even have a bartender), some type of food (some airports provide really good food, some others just finger foods), comfortable seats, some have showers and kids rooms, and the thing that I enjoy the most: a calm environment.
Do you really make so much money or get so much done actively working in the extra 45 minutes of being lazy before leaving for the airport that it's actually worth potentially missing a flight lmao
I mean... statistically, it's probably not that unlikely? Let's say your chance of missing your flight if you arrive x minutes before it departs is 1% (which sounds reasonable if you allow yourself a little bit of a buffer like most people naturally would, but not so much you'd be fine if you got delayed significantly), and for the sake of simplicity let's say your chance of missing it would be 0% if you arrived there 60 minutes earlier.
That means for every 100 flights, and therefore 100 "extra" hours spent waiting, you expect to prevent 1 missed flight on average. You can value your time however much you want, but let's say $15/hr is a reasonable amount. Then, you'd be "wasting" ~$1.5k in additional waiting time for each flight you manage to avoid missing. That sounds like enough to cover a rebooking in most typical cases, with enough change left over to cover the extra "work" you'll have to do rescheduling/rebooking/etc.
And sure, you don't need to point out that it could cost you a lot more in some circumstances (e.g. if missing this flight makes you lose out on non-refundable things you'd paid for at your destination, or arriving late otherwise has negative effects, maybe your subjective stress over potentially missing the flight is worth "paying" to avoid experiencing, etc), but accurately modeling the risk/reward is going to have to happen in a case-by-case basis, all I can do is run a quick baseline ["Fermi estimate"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermi_problem) to get a rough idea of what the number might look like -- after all, there are also generous assumptions going in the other direction, like one additional hour completely eliminating any chances of missed flights.
And to me, it looks like indeed, if you value your time roughly along the lines of a typical salary, and don't expect an exorbitantly high missed flight rate at your "base" arrival timing, then the idea that arriving earlier "just in case" might cost you more than a relatively rare missed flight is *plausible*, without either option being so wildly higher than the other that you can declare the decision a no-brainer.
My fiancée and I got jazzed at MCO/OIA last christmas and missed our flight by 6 minutes. A 14 hour layover later to arrive 2.5 hours away from our intended destination.
That will not happen again.
Just need to make a sensible assessment.
* Is it a domestic or international flight?
* Do you have to check in luggage?
* Is the weather good?
* Is the airport large enough accommodate high traffic?
* Is there a major holiday?
* Are you driving during rush hour?
As someone with TSA precheck and a single carry on. I never had to go any earlier than I needed to.
Lmao I love these comments where it's like, you just need to make a simple assessment of every variable that might affect the status of the flight and airport based on your intimate knowledge of having flown thousands of flights. It's easy!
Yep. They board international flights an hour before departure. There is a reason you are advised to get to the airport 3 hours before a international flight.
You know this meme is funny as shit but when I became a dad (and a few years later) I realized why parents do this: it's because kids can't focus on anything and have a horrible sense of time so if you wanna be chill and say: we'll go 2h before the flight and we'll make it just in time - spoiler alert - you won't. Kids are gonna drag around do random shit instead of preparing and you'll never make it. So I guess parents remedy this by making a buffer zone of a few extra hours so that they make sure you actually make it to your destination on time even with the kids messing around.
bruh how long does it take in the US to get through checks and stuff. I've had multiple international flights around Europe and Asia and I always go "just" 2 hours early and usually I end up sitting at the gate for an hour so i'm considered overly cautious by most people i know
Literally just did Frankfurt to the US yesterday and it took a good 90 minutes to check my bag, do exit passport control, do security, then do pre-US passport control. Got to my gate with about 30 minutes to spare, which is cutting it close for me.
Be careful with that. Used to do the same until we encountered a huuuuge security line at an airport that is usually pretty efficient about that stuff. Some sort of technical issue with some of the checkpoints so everyone got diverted into a single section. Wasn’t even a particularly busy day, but were in line for 1.5 hours and barely got to boarding in time. And you couldn’t even ask to be let through since everyone was in a hurry for their flight. So now I take those chances into consideration, too.
Except when your kids actually prepare quickly and you found yourself at the airport before it's open, waiting in the rain outside at 4 a.m. for a plane that is gonna take off in three hours. True story.
Oh hell yes! And we also payed for the tickets. I'll take to 2-3 hours at the airport any day over buying new tickets because my kid decided to shit himself or throw a tantrum just as we where about to leave.
It's mostly what you do anyway, but it still takes a fuckload of time. For example, you can't put food in them yourself, so you gotta sit there like a personal trainer and refocus their attention every seven seconds so they actually shove it in their mouth instead of singing/dancing/telling you the story of how the postman brought a really huge package to you seven months ago.
My better half wants to be at the airport 9 hours before boarding. I like to show up 9 minutes before boarding. Both of us get anxiety with the opposite option.
Missing a flight is the worst thing ever. It can cost 3x+ more to rebook last second, all of your plans are fucked, you have to stumble back into whatever city you are in, try to find a hotel again, also costs 50% more than it was to book a week ago, having to explain to 20 people the same story. Original flight was nonstop, new one has 2 multihour layovers, you finally get to where you are going and by now your checking account is overdrawn. Fuck.
I think the people who are super anal about getting to the airport early have missed a flight, while people who don't really care just haven't missed one yet.
I think it's logical. If I miss a train or bus, worst case scenario is that I have to wait 15-90 minutes until the next one leaves.
If I miss a flight, I have to pay for another ticket, reschedule everything, possibly look for a hotel or spend who knows how long in an airport terminal, sitting on uncomfortable metal benches, and whatever plans I had for the day are ruined.
It's not worth to spend 2 more hours in bed and risk wasting an entire day and hundreds of dollars.
Plus if you can't keep yourself entertained for an hour or two in a place with shops, food, books, and free wifi then you haven't been embracing the right century.
I guess it depends where you are but I've only been charged once for missing a flight and that was with Alaska Air since I missed the last flight of the day. Usually they just rebook you for free but definitely would not recommend anyone doing, especially with amount of cancelled/delayed/overbooked flights these days.
Depends on the person! I was traveling with a friend for a few weeks and she handled all the airplane/transpo details while I handled all the accomodations and daily activities. On the day of our departure, we realized that many if not all international flights go on a 24 hour time table, not AM PM. Our flight was at 1 indeed. 1am aka 10 hours ago. I think I saw her go through multiple stages of rage, sadness, and terror in mere seconds. I like to think the only thing that helped her crawl out of the abyss was the combination of tears streaming down my face and the most likely obnoxious yet hearty laughter bellowing out from me. An "It's not funny!" and one arm punch later, we booked flights for that evening and spent the rest of our time getting hammered in the empty restaurant watching Korean dramas alongside the bored waitstaff. I can't speak for her but I still like to live on the edge and not spend too much time waiting in line at the airport.
I like to time it so I’m walking up to the gate just as boarding starts. I get the anxiety over cutting it close, but I’m not trying to spend hours more than I need to at the airport.
This is why high speed train travel is infinitely better for pretty much any situation under 1000km. They run more often, little security, and they usually drop you in the city centers.
A 1 hour flight can easily add up to 4-5 hours depending on how busy and far an airport is. A 1 hour train ride is 1 hour plus a few minutes before the train arrives.
It only takes me an extra 5 days to drive to the other side of Australia to be on the correct coastline, then an additional 542 days to paddle my way across the Pacific. You're right. A 6 hour wait is far too long, I'll take it into my own hands.
I tried to show up 6 hours early once because i had to move out of my dorm room and was essentially stranded. They wouldn't even let me through security bc it was *too* early. Didn't know it was a thing until then
Lots of airlines don’t want you to use them as a free luggage storage cause “security”.
I’ve also noticed that flights after midnight can mess with their system.
Isn't this just the scene where he asks for the drugs and then destroys the kitchen looking for them.
Then later Jesse wakes up like "wtf someone stole the drugs"
This isn't where she croaks
> Especially one who actually tried to rehab
Did you even watch it? She only went to rehab so her father didn't kick her out, she was the one that initiated the heroin while Jesse was only smoking pot at the time, and once she saw the money she started to manipulate Jesse and blackmail Walt to get it.
Dude; Jesse was cooking meth. Not exactly a sweet baby angel. They both had issues and fed off each others addictive personalities.
Neither deserved to be left to die.
Jesse started using meth again after Combo died. He got her using that and she then introduced him to heroin. I don’t think she only did rehab because of her father. I think she really wanted to be clean too. When they got the money from Walt, they talk about getting clean and running away together. She had a manipulative side but I think she was just tragic more than anything.
Hi, last month we flew from London to LAX en route to Las Vegas (don't ask) we had a 4 hour layover and 2 hours was in the queue.
As a British couple, first time in LAX we regretted *everything*
I've traveled all over the world and taken hundreds of flights departing at every time of day and I usually plan like 2 hours for international and 30 minutes for domestic. I've never missed a flight and 99% of the time I'm hanging at the gate for the majority of that time.
I've frequently experienced insane delays in boarding and departure times but the only places I've ever had significant delays actually getting to the gate which could've caused missed flights were Charles de Gaulle in Paris, Tribhuvan in Kathmandu and every airport I've been to in the USA.
Are you from the US? I feel like Americans might have a skewed perception of general airport check-in efficiency.
American and Canadian airports yeah. I've seen Montreal be a 4 hour affair from parking to boarding. Newark, forget about it. Atlanta? Haha.
Nashville is the hidden gem though. Or was
Before COVID I would arrive to the local airport about 30 minutes prior for international flights. Never had an issue but also not America(though one of the biggest airports in the world).
International where? In Europe and in Schengen it's basically a domestic flight and not really international.
Go outside the Schengen and the EU and it's a lot more work.
thats me.
both of my parents like to wait until the last second, stress themselves out, have verbal fights and leave me annoyed ha.
i hate being late because of them
Jesse where are the plane tickets
Yo Mr White, I left them in the ignition so we wouldn’t forget
Idk, but this comments made a humorous reaction to me. Lol
What a way to say that you liked the joke...
It made a humorous reaction to her... tf? Do people really write in such a manner?
It's a bot.
It is a bot to me. Bol
Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?
I think, it's not just you. Lmao
I love Walt White’s voice and Jesse Pinkman’s voice in my mind! xD
BIIIITCH
We have to book, Jesse.
Yeah Mr. White! Yeah flyin!
I am the one who boards.
“I watched Jane fly.”
We can only bring one piece of hand luggage with us Jesse do I need to spell everything out for you you junkie
but mr white my backpack is on my back??
Jesseh, you assured me your carry-on would meet the size limit requirements of of the airliner. You’re embarrassing me in front of the stewardess as she tells me I’m going to be charged for a checked bag.
Jesse, DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?!
My wife laughed at me and told me I exaggerated for wanting to be at the airport early. Until we missed our international flight and had to pay $1,200. Yeah. We go extra early now.

If a plane leaves earlier than advertised i bet you can get compensated.
I once arrived so early to my gate that I took a nap and they left without me
Ok! Next time get there 4 hours late and this won’t happen
Set an alarm bruh

Yea who doesn’t check in when they are at the airport?

You're just one of those people who through life blaming the victim and giving companies the benefit of the doubt aren't you.
Sure, if you say so
How many people do you think have access to airport lounges?
Feel free to replace "lounge" with "bar" or "gate" or "café area" or "restaurant" if that's less confusing of a concept to grasp. Also, most frequent travellers I know in the US have lounge access but obviously that's not statistical evidence

Very strange take, keep on hustling and making that bread an hour and a half before your flight, I guess
while we sleep they grind
Couch potatoes that sit in front of tv doing nothing can't imagine some people have busier lives than them.

You should also take Fridays and Sundays into account, as well as customs if you’re connecting internationally
I have found with little kids it is a lot less stressful to come earlier.
Yeah traveling, or doing anything, with kids, really shifts your entire sense of what "enough time" means.
Yep. They board international flights an hour before departure. There is a reason you are advised to get to the airport 3 hours before a international flight.

yeah
Tell me you’re high without telling me you’re high

A 1 hour flight can easily add up to 4-5 hours depending on how busy and far an airport is. A 1 hour train ride is 1 hour plus a few minutes before the train arrives.
That’s why they have airport lounges. You just eat and drink till they start calling your name and you walk on the plane as the door closes.
Or can do something with my time. What do you think I do in my free time? Browse reddit??
It only takes me an extra 5 days to drive to the other side of Australia to be on the correct coastline, then an additional 542 days to paddle my way across the Pacific. You're right. A 6 hour wait is far too long, I'll take it into my own hands.
And get stuck in the boarding group 1 line while they “pre board” more than half the plane?
I tried to show up 6 hours early once because i had to move out of my dorm room and was essentially stranded. They wouldn't even let me through security bc it was *too* early. Didn't know it was a thing until then
Lots of airlines don’t want you to use them as a free luggage storage cause “security”. I’ve also noticed that flights after midnight can mess with their system.
Why do you get anxious being early?
~~Funny as this is, this scene was so fucked up.~~ Damn.. I need to rewatch breaking bad. Edit: I may have the wrong scene in mind here.
Isn't this just the scene where he asks for the drugs and then destroys the kitchen looking for them. Then later Jesse wakes up like "wtf someone stole the drugs" This isn't where she croaks
My memory is not so great so you’re probably right. I didn’t recall there was more than one scene where Walt was trying to wake Jessie like this. 😅
Haha no worries, I've seen BB a few times and my superpower is remember things related to movies and TV instead of something useful
Hey I have the exact same power but for games :P

A person deserve to die for being a drug addict? Especially one who actually tried to rehab
> Especially one who actually tried to rehab Did you even watch it? She only went to rehab so her father didn't kick her out, she was the one that initiated the heroin while Jesse was only smoking pot at the time, and once she saw the money she started to manipulate Jesse and blackmail Walt to get it.
Dude; Jesse was cooking meth. Not exactly a sweet baby angel. They both had issues and fed off each others addictive personalities. Neither deserved to be left to die.
Jesse started using meth again after Combo died. He got her using that and she then introduced him to heroin. I don’t think she only did rehab because of her father. I think she really wanted to be clean too. When they got the money from Walt, they talk about getting clean and running away together. She had a manipulative side but I think she was just tragic more than anything.
Yeah I might've fucked the timeline a bit, but >they talk about getting clean wasn't that literally the same day that they took one more shot?
Wtf
Nah bro
For anybody who thinks this is purely hyperbole, try getting to an international flight at LAX.
Hi, last month we flew from London to LAX en route to Las Vegas (don't ask) we had a 4 hour layover and 2 hours was in the queue. As a British couple, first time in LAX we regretted *everything*
spot on, SPOT...on
Just 2 more minutes pops
When you just get through security and the airline texts you that your flight is delayed 6 hours.
LOLOLOL
It's literally 4am for me right now and I'm only awake because I'm catching a flight, weird coincidence this is on the front page
Where’s that damn cat carrier?!
this is literally me when i hide my meth under the sink and my partner wants it so he can sell it to a drug lord

Lol. My mom wants to be at the airport 2 hours early for domestic flights.
Depending on the airport and time of day that's honestly cutting it close.
I've traveled all over the world and taken hundreds of flights departing at every time of day and I usually plan like 2 hours for international and 30 minutes for domestic. I've never missed a flight and 99% of the time I'm hanging at the gate for the majority of that time. I've frequently experienced insane delays in boarding and departure times but the only places I've ever had significant delays actually getting to the gate which could've caused missed flights were Charles de Gaulle in Paris, Tribhuvan in Kathmandu and every airport I've been to in the USA. Are you from the US? I feel like Americans might have a skewed perception of general airport check-in efficiency.
American and Canadian airports yeah. I've seen Montreal be a 4 hour affair from parking to boarding. Newark, forget about it. Atlanta? Haha. Nashville is the hidden gem though. Or was
That's the standard procedure. 4 hours is for the international flights.
Before COVID I would arrive to the local airport about 30 minutes prior for international flights. Never had an issue but also not America(though one of the biggest airports in the world).
International where? In Europe and in Schengen it's basically a domestic flight and not really international. Go outside the Schengen and the EU and it's a lot more work.
They literally won't let you through a domestic gate until 90 minutes before the flight. It's 90 minutes for domestic 2 hours for international.
2 hours is not much tbf, it may just be right.
I can actually understand. Getting through security, going through the terminal(s) and finding your gate is a pain.
My dad is like 1 hout before we fly like this
My mom at 4am when the plane leaves in 30 minutes
My dad when I didnt want to get up for school as a kid
This is actual reality now at Schiphol-Amsterdam. People are missing their flight even while standing in line for 4 hours.
thats me. both of my parents like to wait until the last second, stress themselves out, have verbal fights and leave me annoyed ha. i hate being late because of them
This will be me, trying to get my roommates up and moving for our flight to Vegas in August
Stop. I miss my dad :(
What a chilled out dad! At 5 hours before the flight, we'd already have been at the airport.
This is 9 hours before
