Unfortunately the connections between the airport and the city are not good and the traffic is always crazy.

I think that if you can find a early flight to POA, could be better.

Cheers.
As another tip, if the "fast drop" place ends up having a far too long queue (e.g. near noon where lots of flights arrive), you can follow the connection signs (go upstairs to floor 2 where the pharmacy is, turn right to go to T2) and the check-in desks have oneworld priority.

Last time I've been there OWE/OWS have their own queue (which has absolutely no one waiting) at the check-in areas, but there is no priority in the bag drops which is frustrating.
