Dan MorenI went to the airport way too early: the Dan Moren story.
Erika Ensign@dmoren to be clear, I'm not *at* an airport, I just do that every time (but better too early than too late!)
Thomas Vander Wal@dmoren Write a book in that new found time.
Casey Liss@dmoren Also the Casey Liss story.
_IanOfEarth@caseyliss @dmoren and my axe!
I mean also the IanOfEarth story.
BenRiceM@_IanOfEarth @caseyliss @dmoren I’m never late to the airport. Nor am I ever early. I arrive precisely when I meant to.
Jamie Blumberg@BenRiceM @_IanOfEarth @caseyliss @dmoren Ben elevates being nonbinary to a refusal to adhere to the world's conception of both gender as well as time. Both man/woman and late/early are binary concepts which hold no sway over a transcendent one such as they.
@_IanOfEarth @BenRiceM @caseyliss @dmoren Going to save “time/gender cucked” as a retort to throw out at transphobes, because that really made me laugh.

TimI heard about an app for this. Flook…sorry, my bad, Flighty.
Jeff Clatworthy@caseyliss Passerby, watching Marco find that stump.

MacBalanceFor me when flying basically I relax once I’m through security as my “job” for the trip is now mostly done.
Dave Nanian@caseyliss @dmoren Not the Dave Nanian story. But ask me what happened when I was on time and forgot my passport.
Spoiler - I had to drive home, find it, get it, drive back to the airport...and I still made the flight. But it was super close, given security.
Probably would have been better to be too early. Or, better still, to have not been an idiot who left his passport at home.
John Siracusa@dnanian @caseyliss @dmoren One WWDC years ago, as I’m about to leave my house to go to the airport and I’m double-checking my flight info, I realized my flight was at 7am and not 9am, like I thought. I still made it, with time to spare.
Glenn Fleishman@siracusa @dnanian @caseyliss @dmoren My favorite paper-ticket era story is when a few days before a flight, I cannot find my paper ticket. I wind up going to a nearly secret United booth under a staircase at a downtown Seattle airport. They issue me a new ticket for no charge. When I'm packing a couple days later, I go to the place where I keep all my travel stuff and…there, of course, is the original paper ticket.
@dnanian @caseyliss @dmoren A different Dave ( @DaveHowell) and I spent a special several (seven?) hours together in Montréal after getting there in plenty of time! (Ah, Çingleton.)

Mario Panighetti@dmoren time to 200% those fitness rings!
sirshannon@dmoren This is the way.
Leon Cowle@dmoren Wait. I don’t understand. Getting to the airport means running, panicking, shouting at one’s family, continually checking your watch, until finally getting death stares from all the other passengers as you do the walk of shame down the aisle to your seat(s). I’m not aware of any other option.
Craig Grannell@dmoren After a trip a few years ago that led to, let’s say, some “creative” cross-country driving, I’m of the opinion there is no “too early”. Although I do once remember spending 3.5 hours in Tampa airport when it didn’t really have any shops and before devices were a thing. That wasn’t a huge amount of fun.
Michael B. Johnson@dmoren I love getting to the airport early. Removes a lot of travel stress for me. But then again, I don’t have a small child with me…
Stuart Isaac@dmoren and after arriving early, was your flight then immediately delayed by 1.5 hours? That was the twist ending of the Stuart Isaac story.
Todd Vaziri@dmoren then you did it correctly
