Arriving that far ahead of time means there's plenty of time to eat at
the airport before the flight takes off. Not planning a liberal lay
over for change of flights not only means no snacking, it also means
you may not make your connecting flight. So, it's bad planning IMO...
especially for those who just *have* to eat every two minutes.
