There is a reason that the airlines ask you to show up at the airport at least two hours before your flight departs
. Of course there are a lot of people that they need to move from point A to point B and it takes some time to get it all done. But more importantly, in order to get all of it done without rushing people through and cutting corners, there needs to be some sort of order to the process.
This is why it is important for everybody that is flying to make sure that they are paying attention to what they are doing. This means not thinking that you are above the regulations and above having to wait in line like everybody else. One of the biggest causes for delays and hold-ups is by people that aren't prepared to go through the lines in a timely manner.
Some common and foolish hold-ups are attributed to paperwork and tickets at the counter as well as luggage that is the wrong size for your intentions; all of these frustrations can and should be avoided. A easy fix for these problems would require you to check out the airline website to see what policies and changes you will need to make and be aware of before you start to the airport. Be prepared before your journey begins, so there will be no place for stress and frustration.
The few extra minutes that it would take to double check all your plans and the airline rules and expectations, one or two days prior to your airport arrival can make a significant difference in your flying experience. Imagine if everyone done the same preparations, how much easier and smoother the flight would go from your airport arrival up to departure and beyond. Double check your list and treat others nice are doable golden rules for anyone.
Everyone can be smart like Santa, with a checklist of your travel things and little notes about what to avoid and how to take advantage on your trek through the automatic front doors of the airport to your plane seat. No one really whats to see all your luggage contents as you dump and search for the requested papers on the check-in counter, when all you had to do was be reminded by your checklist that the important papers, passports and tickets need to be ready and waiting.
