flying at 17:40 on a Saturday from Stansted what time would you leave swindon? You have to take into account that airport parking has advised it can take upto 40 mins with the shuttle to get to the airport...
Im being stressy and would like to win this argument. Other half is saying we have to leave at 11:30 im saying later....

it's better to be early for a flight than late...

I always prefer being early, but then I'm a lanky sod so the earlier the better for comfort on the flight...

Providing the M25 is clear!! I would go with the 1230 option rather than the 1pm just for piece of mind. |

If it's a short flight then I think you can only check in 2 hours before so you don't want to get there too early. But if it's a long haul flight that will be 3 hours. But each airline closes check in at different times I think.
EDIT: I agree with nochee.

Yes 12ish, as you have the M25 and M11, which is not often a very good trip on a saturday, get there early and have a beer or two.

I nearly missed a Stanstead flight thanks to the M25 despite leaving 'plenty of time'.
I got a "have a go" boarding pass, where you leg it to the plane and see if you can get there before it leaves the gate.

I'd suggest leaving later, that way it will add more excitement to the journey - will you get there in time or won't you? Its great fun, unless you get there too late in which case it will be a bit shit to say the least.

If it's 5:20 then I'd leave by midday. Considering you got the flight time wrong you should probably leave travel arrangements to the man.
