I’d take the train that arrives at 4:50am. The 5:13am train would probably cost me an hour of sleep because I would be worried about all the things that can go wrong. And if I had a few minutes to spare, I would get a cup of coffee to take on the plane.

I have never missed a flight, and while I don’t arrive with two hours to spare (even if I have lounge access), I don’t like to stress myself while traveling.


Incidentally have a 6am flight on AS on Sunday. Different airport, but I will aim to be in line at TSA at 5am. I have PreCheck.
