How is the airport in the AM usually? I guess I need to be getting there to clear security around 0600 for an 0800 flight? Not sure if there is any fast-track for I class?

I class counts as being in the Business cabin in any case, so you can use the dedicated F/J departures area - I estimate a total of 5 minutes to get through security and immigration. In fact, the walk from the entrance of the terminal to immigration is probably longer than actual clearance. For a 0800 flight, I would aim to arrive at the airport around 0650. If you want to visit the lounge then maybe 0630.

Oh, and, welcome to Flyertalk!
