I have no idea what other airlines are telling their passengers but the ground services person who came on to our arriving Delta flight made the announcement that for our return flight to be at the airport 4 HOURS prior to our scheduled departure. As far as I know, the check in area is not staffed until 3 hours before scheduled departure. My friends who were on Delta also were given the same announcement when they arrived Sat.
A pretty sad statement on how the reconstruction is going and the inefficiency in which the airport is managed.

Hope it works out. Amazing what they do to try and cover for the incompetence. We need to catch up tonight or tomorrow.

They have been saying that for well over a year. It’s to cover their butts. I board at 1:05 on Friday - arriving at 11:30 Just keep in mind that for international flights if you are checking bags they require them to be checked 1 hour before scheduled boarding. If you're stuck in line you could miss that window.

For other people, that's a good observation. Kim owns a place on island, so she doesn't check a bag.

John--so I'm guessing the line where you bought your horrible sandwich was pretty short? Another reason to bring your lunch with you to the airport.

Worse case I’m “stuck” here longer!!!
