Airline passengers are divided over claims that travelers should arrive at the airport 6.5 hours earlier for flights

A man has shocked even the most organized traveler by revealing he arrives at the airport a whopping 6.5 hours before his flight was due to depart.

Self-confessed anxious traveler Tim Murray slammed those who take a laissez-faire approach to airport arrival times, boldly stating that it is their own fault if they miss their flight.

“It’s not my fault you’re late for your flight, so if you stand behind me in the security line and say, ‘I have to get past you, I’m late,’ then you need to manage your time better,” she said he. explained in a short fragment posted on TikTok.

“I arrive at the airport six and a half hours before my flight,” he said, admitting that his “extreme anxiety” plays a role in arriving early.

“And I want to sit here and sit in the airport at Chili’s with a waitress named Debra, who has the most amazing smoker’s voice you’ve ever heard and stories that will last six and a half hours,” he joked.

‘Do you think I’m joking? That’s the Chili’s right behind me, honey,” he continued, pointing the camera over his shoulder.

“I had lunch there, I’m about to go to dinner,” he boasted.

In response, Tim admitted that it is actually not six and a half hours, but rather three hours.

Although Tim is smug about his early arrival, many users pointed out that there are external factors that play a role in people’s travel plans.

‘People need to remember that it’s not always the person’s fault. If my plane is late, I may miss my connection, no matter how early I was. This has happened to me a few times,” one user commented.

“Pity us international flyers who have to claim immigration baggage and run to a connecting flight after our first flight was delayed,” another complained.

“Dude, some people have connections because their flight was late, or they got stuck in long lines at customs… so many reasons other than just being late,” they pointed out.

‘I have had many international flights where I was ‘late’ to security because my previous flight was delayed. Sometimes you can’t do anything,” said another.

Others, however, agreed with his faithful approach to travel.

“A month ago a guy made me stand in line at security and I’m still mad at him for his lack of planning,” one user commented.

While arriving late may be a bummer for some, one etiquette expert doesn’t consider it the most offensive thing you can do while traveling, recently slapping airline passengers for turning on music or watching TV without headphones.

The California-based professional – who teaches people how to glide smoothly through any situation – explained what to do if a fellow traveler starts disrupting your peaceful flight with his movie or music.

Nick Leighton told it USA today: ‘We live our lives through screens and when we do that, we become less aware of the real world around us.

‘Our feeds are about us and what we do. As a result, we forget that we are not always the main character in every situation.’

Nick explained that while people being “inconsiderate” isn’t a “new behavior,” it is still something that can make you angry.

He noted that people often forget that taking up someone’s auditory space is still considered rude.

This practice is not only frustrating for others, but also tears society apart, according to Nick.

He told the newspaper: “They need to know that they are tearing apart the fabric of society, and they need to stop.

‘No one is going to die, this is not catastrophic, but it is corrosive. It is the rust on the machinery that makes society function, and at some point the machine will break down.

“We don’t want to live in a lawless, etiquette-free society, that’s not a world we want to live in, and that’s why it’s important that everyone does their part.”
