Would be great to have a light snack late in the evening and then the next meal will probably be back in the CCR in the morning as I wait for final flight, rather than eating onboard.

I'm on the 106 next week, was a bit of a stretch when it was at 2.15, but 3.30 is really grim.

Given the lounge hasn't exactly got a good write up on here, I'm thinking of staying away as long as possible - I have a room booked at the nearby Four Points Sheraton for that night. So to those of you doing this route more often, what's a reasonable time to rock up at the airport (will have checked luggage, but club check in desk privileges)?
