I am with you on the two hours at the airport, I enjoy airports.
DeleteQuite often, it’s 4 hours. And I enjoy airports, too. Once I’m passed security hell, I have a great time.
Delete1. Early. Some would say too early.
ReplyDelete2. My pet peeve is me being late. HATE it. But I refuse to show up to a party early. A meeting, I don't care if I'm early. Was taught if you show up on time, you're late.
3. Snow storm. Got to a very intimate concert 2-3 songs in. It was noticeable when we arrived.
4. About 2 hours. International might be longer.
5. 20. Tops. Unless they've updated me.
My mother was the if you are not early, you are late parent.
Delete1. Yes, early bird.
ReplyDelete2. I am always ready on time. Five minutes before, I may not be. Don't come early. I am never late, although in some instances I am deliberately late, so why should anyone else be late.
3. I was late for my brother's wedding, which was the fault of my mother.
4. For international, two hours. Domestic, half an hour.
5. 15 minutes without an explanatory, sorry and why I am late message.
It has become easier to send the last minute, sorry I am late messages.

ReplyDelete1: Are you an early bird, or the second mouse?
Definitely early - I'd rather be half an hour early than 2 minutes late. Often I arrived in time to help people "put the chairs out," both figuratively and literally. Drives my husband mad.
2: Which is more annoying to you, the person who is always early, or the person who is always last to arrive?
Definitely the latecomers are more annoying - the rest of us worked hard to get here on time. You slackers are just too lazy to get going in time. But like you, I try not to judge. But it is funny - it is always the same people who are always late.
3: When was a time when you were memorably late? Plane got cancelled, and the airline didn't reschedule for us to fly until 3 days later! We just enjoyed the extra time (in Prague of all places).
4: How long before departure time do you leave for the airport? We (hubby and I) try to be at an international airport 3 hours beforehand, because, you know, passport and security checks and long lines of people. Usually we sit in the departure lounge inside the security zone for the next 2 3/4 hours. LOL Domestic, about an hour and a half beforehand, and even then we end up sitting way too long at the departure gate waiting. Paranoid about missing a plane.
5: How long do you wait for someone who is running late? Depends on the appointment and how much I have invested in the appointment. I have waited for someone for up to an hour, but I had other things to fill in the time. For a date (long before I met the man who is now my husband), I have waited for longer than an hour. (We'll do anything for you know what...) Meeting? Like you, 5 minutes, especially if all the other people (enough for a quorum) are already present. No sense in wasting everyone's precious time.
I know someone who spent three days in Chicago waiting on a delayed flight, she went shopping.
Delete1: Are you an early bird, or the second mouse? Always early; my father raised us that eary was on time, on time was late, and late was unforgivable.
ReplyDelete2: Which is more annoying to you the person who is always early, or the person who is always last to arrive? Always the late ones.
3: When was a time when you were memorably late? July 21st 2000; when I was late to the Ft, Lauderdale Airport after meeting Carlos in person and spending ten days together. He drove like mad to get to the airport and then dropped me off and parked the car. He then came running up to my gate to see me off. They were just about to close the doors when we said our goodbyes.
4: How long before departure time do you leave for the airport? I am always a minimum of ninety minute early and maybe more at a busier airport.
5: How long do you wait for someone who is running late? Until they arrive and then I let them have it. I don't recall ever leaving before the late person arrived.
When I was flying out of Lexington, a much smaller airport, a little over an hour was plenty of time, baggage cut off was 30-45 minutes before flight time.
