I hate that in the UK we're always told we must book in two hours before departure time. I'm not sure why my husband is so hell bend on compliance, but I think the implication is that they'll go without us if we're not there. But even so, two hours? It means we have to get up at 3am and spend the whole holiday trying to recover from having had no sleep prior to the day of departure. And then to really piss us all off, they end up delaying the flight anyway, because some lazy bastard who couldn't be bothered to get up until 6, hasn't turned up. So we have to wait. Indefinitely, it seems, until they show. What a pile of piss. Which begs the question, why are we getting up at 3am to spend 2 hours sitting around an airport? Because the rules say so. Ugh!
