i always walk too, and if you leave at t-70 I struggle to see how you’d arrive any later than t-55 even walking leisurely (assuming you wouldn’t choose to walk if you had mobility issues).

Boarding won’t start before t-40 bar exceptions (eg an early slot before some nasty weather etc) and as cws rightly says delays to boarding are frequent on the 388s.

i love the 388s but obviously more people means more people in the gate area often in messy ways especially if boarding is precisely delayed so personally if it’s on time, I’d say leave the lounge between t-60 and t-50 and you’ll be ample (and I’m an early boarder)
