That’s a normal efficient arrival time / boarding window. What are you complaining about?

10 mins after you arrive ? Seems doable depending on airport :)

Just made it at EWR. Got there 7 minutes before boarding. Made it into the plane half way into boarding

Which means you have 40 minutes to make it to your gate...

I once got to the airport 25 minutes before takeoff (drove myself) because there was a terrible winter storm and it took me 3x as long to drive to airport so even though I left way earlier than normal didn’t help. Valet parked my car as it was my only option to make it, rushed to security which was mostly empty due to the weather, ran to gate and made it by one minute.

Once you experience that or something similar, 40 minutes seems like a lifetime.

It depends on when boarding ends

I’ve gotten to EWR after boarding already started and still made the plane... had to check my carry-on though :/

... and clear if your home airport has it. We'll woryh the $99 bucks (get a dl FF, doesnt matter if it has 0 miles, and get Clear for $99).

Arrived after boarding started this morning and made it to the gate in 10 minutes from parking garage. Pre check at DTW is great

This seems like an average fly day to me

You have 40 minutes OP. 40 minutes to get from the car to your plane. During these 40 minutes, you do what you have to do. Run. Fling your bag to stop the gate from closing. Cry to the passengers at Security Check. But do it all. Let no one say you didn’t try. Let it be known wide and clear that you used those 40 minutes wisely. Because no one can take these 40 minutes away from you. Not even God. Except if God was TSA, but otherwise not even god.

Sounds like you’re early in my opinion

I became one of the cool kids who got his name called while running to gate. Thankfully made it, learned my lesson

I hope the lesson you learned is don’t be a consultant without precheck

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
