Once in Seattle I showed up at the airport 3 hours early, didn't realize there was a big game that had gone in the day before, and only baaaarely made it to my flight on time. Wasn't even international.
It can definitely happen, especially in large cities. I suppose I’ve mostly combined luck with my laziness.
It’s also why I greatly prefer small airports, the smallest of which was literally a single room made of corrugated tin and little else. My flight left half an hour early.
Yeah small airports are great. Where I'm at now the local airport is pretty small, flights only go to/from Stockholm. They're rarely even full I could probably just show up and grab a ticket like a fancy bus half an hour before takeoff. Sometimes there is a little stall selling local honey that's just honor system nobody operates it and there isn't any camera or anything just a wooden table and a paper with payment info lol
Sounds like I need to spend time in Sweden. My wanderings have been primarily equatorial.
Medium sized airports are the problem. Airports for big cities can handle tons of people. But you have an event in a mis-size city and it's a disaster.
