Don't mean to bash the OP but hopefully this will be a lesson. Always plan on an hour before so delays won't force you to miss your flight. I've never understood why people act like spending 15-20 minutes waiting for boarding is like spending time in burning hell. If you don't have an AC/AC membership, go to a quite part of the airport, read a newspaper/book or listen to music to pass the time.
