What time should I leave my house if my flight is at 3?
I'm flying from LAX to Hawaii and my flight is at 3. I live 30, 40 mins away from the airport. What time should I leave my house??? Also, is it complicated having to switch planes? My flight isn't nonstop so I have to get off at Oakland to get on another plane.

Leave at 12. You'll never know that you'll be stuck in traffic jams on the way, and in queues at the airport itself. Switching planes isn't complicated; you just get out of your 1st plane, proceed to the departure gate floor/area (I don't know how Oakland Airport is arranged, but most airports require you to go through baggage screening first before you go to your connecting flight.) It is NOT necessary to leave the transit area and re-enter; just go straight to your gate.

The thing is the flight suppossedly leaves at THREE. So beforehand it is possible that you might have to stand in a long line at checkin. Then you have to clear security and then find your gate. 30 or 40 minutes away could always turn into longer if there is traffic or an accident. And nothing spoils the travel mood more than rushing around, running for the gate, getting boarded and then taking off. Probably the best thing to do is to leave at noon. That way you can relax and not feel hurried. You might sail through traffic, checking and security. Plan on having lunch at the airport. You will be relaxed, know where your gate is, soak in the whole travel thing and people, poke around the shops and above all it is good to have a full stomach before traveling. As far as Oakland goes changing planes is not a huge deal as it really is not that large of an airport. If in doubt just ask someone. As an aside if you have a serious layover like 3 or 4 hours. If you go outside there are free shuttles to hotels that come regularly and are free. Pick the Hilton one as it is about 5 minutes away. There is a nice sports bar/ restaurant that has decent food and is nice, clean as has good service. Kind of like a step up from TGIFridays. It will be cheaper than hanging at the airport.
