We are flying out of Newark on 2/15 via AJ. For the 7:15am departure they are telling us to get there 2.5 hours ahead of departure. This feels a bit excessive. What have been people's experience with Newark specifically and AJ in general? We were hoping to show up more in the 5:30am range.

In June I arrived at EWR about 6:15 am and made the AJ flight with a few minutes to spare. 5:30 should be fine.

Sue Just a word of advice or my $.02 worth.. 2/15 is a major traveling day!!! we have a flight out of LGA at 6am to Roatan and we plan on being there at 3;30am,, Every teacher in the world and parents with children that have off from school for Presidents's Week {like yourselves} will be waiting in lines to go to warmer climates.. I wish us both luck...

When you come back from Bonaire, go to the airport early on the day of your flight and check in, with your bags. It will be much less stressful. We ended up in line for over an hour, only to go stand in another line. AJ in Bonaire is very inefficient and, I think, most unhelpful. Make sure you compensate for this so that you're not undoing all that relaxation!!!

Freddie - we travel every year on President's Week (something about that school break!) & deal with the crowds. Even with post-9/11 security last year, we got to Newark 2+ hours ahead and sat around for nearly 2 hours.

Dont know about your airport but here in UK for international flights 3 hours is now the standard time for check-in! It went up from 2 hours when they instituted more stringent security checks after Sept 11th.

Freddie, I see you are headed to Roatan...have you been before? If so, I'd love to hear your views and tips! We are going too, in our school break, four weeks today (who's counting!!) We are staying at Island Pearl at West Bay.
