And so we begin our journey. the standard hurry up an wait. We are always told to get there at least two hours early, but I’ve never taken more than twenty minutes to get through to the gate (this is without a checked bag, but still). My question is, have any of you ever found a time where being at the airport two hours early was necessary?

Anywho, I’m writing this as we our now seated on our 747. it actually is rather nice on Virgin Atlantic and I would recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity; Extra leg room, and seat back entertainment system with the option to pick your movie, you even get a “care” packet with complimentary eye cover, toothbrush, toothpaste and even socks.
