sup brahs....

Haven't flown in a couple of years never from laguardia usually go from JFK. Im flying on a short domestic flight (1 hour 45 min) from ny to verginia on a thursday night at 910 pm. My question to yall is what time do you think I should get to the airport at...i will have no checked bags only carry on's. My class ends at 845 and i plan on leaving early but its only 30 min to the airport so i figure if I get there at 745 I should be fine? No idea on this stuff. The later the better but just getting some opinions

It doesn't matter, always show up at least 90 mins before your filight and bring some shit to do or read or what have you.  It's not so much for checking your own bags as it is leaving room for the fucktards in front of you to get the hell through TSA.

7:45 seems fine. Have your stuff in order and you should be good to go.

Its not worth missing the flight if you show up too late to the airport. Be safe and get there early. I try and arrive at least 2 hours before my plane.
Gotta allow for somewhere like NY to take a bit because there are gonna be a lot of peeps in security who don't speak english well.

Yeah I meant GET THERE with at least 90 minutes to spare. 

Anyboey else old enough to remember walking right to a gate to meet people?  People smoking butts everywhere and no real security at all?  Fuck, those were the days.

domestic flight? I'd get there 1hr early. so if you leave at 745 and get there at 815, I wouldn't worry about it. just make sure you don't get stuck in traffic. be there at 815, leave accordingly
