Hi,
I haven't flown in a long time (5+ years). We've got a flight from BNE to LAX on Tuesday. The flight departs at 10pm. If I'm not mistaken, check in opens 3hrs before that, so 7pm. We're flying economy, but I've got a qantas club membership. Not sure if there's a special check in line for that.
I'm leaving from Helensvale and I've booked a taxi ride all the way to the international airport. Normal car trip would've been about 1hr but the unknown factor is traffic. I wonder if leaving home at 5:25pm is going to give me enough (leisurely) time at the airport checkin + time at the lounge (qantas club). This is the first time I'm taking the taxi. Usually I'd catch the train, but we're travelling as a family, with 2 kids + car seat.
So I'm a bit nervous whether I should leave earlier than 5:25pm. I hardly ever go to Brisbane so not familiar with the traffic especially at this time of the day.
Should I leave at 5pm instead?
