Last time I flew from Heathrow it was 45 minutes from car to take off, and that was with a 20 minute door close.

It doesn’t take 2 hours to go through security , certainly not in the first class section in any case.



I fly a couple times a year from Portland, OR.

The line at security is typically 0-20 minutes. Add in walking time, and I'm getting from car to gate in 10-30 minutes.

But I still feel like I need to get to the airport at least 90 minutes, if not 2 hours early, just in case I end up flying on a day where 1 of the 2 security checkpoints is entirely closed and every traveler is now forced to go through a single checkpoint and it's going to take over an hour.


Ah yes, let's use the timeline for a first class passenger as the average for how long it takes to go from check-in to take off.


That is the correct benchmark for potential Boom customers.
