'Anxious' Traveller Says You Should Get To The Airport 6-And-A-Half Hours Early

A self-described anxious traveller has said it's your own fault if you miss your flight, and you should be getting to the airport six-and-a-half hours early.

Tim Murray took to TikTok to hit out at passengers who cut it close when heading to the airport.

"It's not my fault you're late to your flight, so if you're behind me in the security line being like: 'I gotta get past you I'm late', you need to manage your time better," he said.

"I get to the airport six-and-a-half hours before my flight.

"And I wanna sit here and vibe at the airport Chili's with a waitress named Debra who has the most amazing smoker's voice you've ever heard and stories that will last six-and-a-half hours.

"You think I'm joking? That's the Chili's right behind me there, baby. I had lunch there, I'm about to have dinner."

But commenters were quick to hit back, saying it wasn't always the passenger's fault if they missed their flight.

"People need to remember it's not always the person's fault. If my plane is late that could cause me to miss my connection, no matter how early I was. This has happened to me a few times," said one person.

"Have mercy on us international flyers who need to do immigration baggage claim and run to connecting flight after our first flight was delayed," said another.
