What's bad is when one of us wants to get there barely on time, and the other wants to be hours early. The thing with being early is that if a flight is delayed by 3 hours, you are spending way too much time at the airport. That happened to us on Friday night. There was a storm near the Denver airport, so our flight was ridiculously late to Atlanta. So we left over 3 hours before our flight, ate dinner at the Priority Pass restaurant (free), then went to the gate, only to find out that the flight was delayed an hour, then two hours, then three hours.
