8am flight? I'm a cheapskate and most of mine are 6am or so

I dither; sometimes I think: why not a few hours earlier if it saves me a few credits, and suffer through the day (getting up so early it's basically night, and the commute to the airport always takes longer than calculated), sometimes I remember and, well, don't try to save a few credits.

ya 8am flights are insane, too early to wake early for and too late to stay up until you board.

4am flights are the best cheapstake ones.

Flying is so bad now if you don't book a flight at the ass crack of dawn you're basically guaranteed to get delayed so I always bite the bullet and book as early as possible!

They still find a way to delay the first flight out. You know gotta start the day of right.

I used to fly over 400K miles per year. Now I avoid it like the plague. It's truly gotten terrible. It started with the checked baggage fees and has only gone downhill from there.

Likely a lot less than somebody sitting at an office asking AI a few questions a day.

Less than the billionaires have used up this year alone

Me and my mates back in our early twenties getting posted: Here's a good idea, we're flying out at 0500 so why don't we just stay up partying and go directly to the airport?

Narrator: It was not, in fact, a good idea.

I was forced into an 8am flight recently and I thought “At least no one will be at the airport so early and I can just breeze through TSA.” Most packed I’ve ever seen it. What’s wrong with people?

I'm not so sure, might arrive as everything else is going bassackwards with the regressives out of control in Washington. (And Tejas and Floriduh and...)

I have never regretted an early am flight. Its either napping thro the wait and flight time, or drinking all morning and sleeping thro the rest of the day after landing.

Now, I have never travelled for work and I could imagine that might change the experience.
