Are you being dropped off? Terminal A or B? Do you have Pre check or clear?

The lines can be long in the early hours with business people going out. I always plan 2 hours
before take off but I have CLEAR. That gives me time to get through CLEAR, take the trams, buy a water etc. There may only be one tram in service at that time. It can be a few minutes longer without CLEAR.

Now, Terminal C is a power walk to your gate! So plan for a Disney - rope drop walk.

Depending on where you live in the Villages, the drive TO the airport can be anywhere from 1-2 hours.

So leaving your house could be 3-4 hours before departure. In St Cats, I give it 3 hours.
