Hi SchmeckFlyer,

Thanks for asking (^) as it never ocurred to me (typical me)

I guess it makes sense to the fact that there now is an explanation to why it says 180 and 150 min but if it actually makes sense I don't know.

Instead of having the holiday masses at check in at normal times, now the congestion is moved back an hour to and hour and half as I guess non regular flyers are going to do exactly what it says on the BP This will also fill up the transit halls even more but I guess the airports will make some more money on extra sales on goods and food/drink...
