Traffic shouldn’t be too bad, early morning, depending where you are coming from. Sundays are usually the most calm, traffic-wise.
Thanks! We ended up getting to the airport at 4:15 AM because that was the only real option (hotel shuttles left on the hour, and obviously leaving at 5 was not feasible). We had a ton of time—check-in took about 15 minutes but would have been faster had it not been for a couple of group tours ahead of us. Security was also very quick, so we had plenty of time for a leisurely breakfast in the terminal. Traveling today from PKN-SUB and I think we’re going to be there 1:45 before flight time…a long time to spend in a much less congenial airport! Ah well.
