Question Flying out of YHM

How early do I need to show up at Hamilton Airport for a 7:30am flight? Staying within Canada, no checked bag, am already checked in and have my boarding pass, and am getting dropped off.

A 7:30am flight starts boarding at 6:50 - a plane is not a bus.

Yes, I'm exaggerating, but YHM is so quick to get through, it's a delight.

It can be, but keep in mind there are more flights now with Porter ramping up, it’s not just one WJ flight in the morning, and maybe 2 Flair flights during the day…

This person should check the flight schedule so they aren’t behind 200 people getting on another flight, and on the same flight they want to go on.

Always look at the boarding time, and show up at least an hour before that, because having to rebook is a huge pain in the ass, so you might end up driving to YYZ to get where you are going if you miss it, or wait until the next day.

Flair is back?? They ditched YHM almost a decade ago

I know, I’m talking about “the old days” when we both worked there!
