Would you change your plans to arrive earlier/later if airport is chaotic/quiet?

I wouldnt, doesn't matter if airport is in bloody state of war.

Yeah, I would.

On a quiet day I measured 7 minutes from stepping out of the bus and being through security.

I wouldn’t change the flight itself, but I’d certainly use it to decide when I set out for the airport. Not by a ton but it’s easily the difference between a leisurely farewell breakfast and scarfing down a muffin on the run.
