Bologna to Frankfurt (BLQ-FRA) on Lufthansa 737-500 in business

I wake early. The weather has turned but I'm on my way out. I have an early departure and have the usual dilemna when flying early morning from an unfamiliar airport - how early do I need to turn up? I don't want to arrive at the airport and find check in isn't open but I'd also rather not push things in case of any issues en route or massive security queues.

As the airport is quite small I was surprised to see a special premium security line that goes directly to the contract lounge. I was in the lounge only a short time before boarding was called.

The flight was fairly full. There was a breakfast served (at least by meal time, the food was more reminiscent of lunch). We had better views of the Alps than the flight over. All too soon we landed at Frankfurt - quite early but we get a remote stand. By the time the bus gets to the terminal we weren't terribly early.
