Look up what time the airport opens. Our flight boarded at 7:20am but the airport didn't start opening counters until 6am. We got there at 5 thinking wed have time to get snacks before our flight but instead just got to our gate 5 min before boarding. It was a mass funnel effect because everyone was arriving between 5-6 and then proceeded to jam security and customs with the mass rush from when they finally opened.
