why would you shower? You BOARD half an hour before takeoff. Assuming you live next door to the airport and have no baggage to check and have your ticket printed out, you still have to go through security.

thats exactly what i thought

At least you're looking on the bright side.

I think you left this comment about the previous FML, didn't you?

Hmmm... this website would be much more interesting if people left comments unrelated to the FML, like #7. And even better... we could all compete trying to guess which FML they actually belong to.

#15, Your name is made of epic win.

Not only that #10, after being late and a bit screwed... went and had a non-essential shower?? The OP obviously didn't realise how screwed they were.. hmm i'm gonna YDI this.

Yeah, but he's from Canada. Just like the "Canadian dollar" isn't really a dollar, I'm sure they tell time differently there also... i.e. a "Canadian hour" is probably not the same as a real hour. So maybe he did have enough time to get through security (I mean, c'mon... "Canadian security" isn't like real security) and still board the plane. Everything's different in Canada.

I dont know about Canada but in the US there isnt a cutoff time of 1 hour unless its an international flight. Most airlines will guarantee your bag that will make it to the destination if you check in 30 minutes in advance. At the 3:30 in the morning there probably isnt going to be anyone at the airport so its not like he/she has to worry about a long security and check in line. I didnt even know flights started that early. I would hope the OP lives within 10-15 minutes of the airport if he/she took the time to take a shower.

Really? I live in the US and the airlines I took this Christmas (MA to FL and back) said there was a 1 hour cutoff, 3 for international.

Southwest Airlines doesnt have a cutoff. 10 minutes before the flight leaves if you havent checked in then they are free to give it to stand by passengers. If you show up before the flight leaves and no one is on the stand by list then you still get your seat. Southwest has a 30 minute rule that any checked back that is checked in under 30 minutes isnt guaranteed to make the flight or else they will pay to get it shipped to you. Not to mention that Southwest lets you log on 24 hours in advance of your flight to print off your boarding pass so if you did that and were really late then they wouldnt give up your seat to stand by until the very last minute when they realized you arent on the plane.

#14 you're just plain out retarded to think that Canadian's have a longer hour. That is why the whole world thinks that Americans are stupid. Now obviously this guy would of missed his flight. The fact he posted this in Canada has no reason to believe such a retarded thing.

And after this comment, people are now very sure that Americans are stupid.

haha, same here! i'm such a klutz.. i probably would have broken more than my arm lol

No, it's worse to have a broken arm than to show up to the airport a day early. And no, 2:30 AM is not tomorrow. Today is today, no matter what time it is.

I too think a broken arm is worse. Also if I'm not mistaken they won't even let someone on the plain who has a broken bone do to the air pressure and the fact that it would cause a lot of pain
