Wake up at 4. Take the subway to the train station at 4.45. Reach the train station at 5.15, half an hour earlier in case of subway problems, and walk through the statin to fund the platform. Take the 5.50 train, reach the airport at 6.35. Check-in at 6.55. Go through security early, queue 40 minutes because it&#x27;s Monday morning, it&#x27;s 7.35. Submit yourself to the random terrorist check because you look like below 30 years old and in a hurry. It&#x27;s 7.50. Run through the airport because you&#x27;re at gate 167. You get your flight and be at work by 2pm, babbling because you woke up at 4 and sweaty because you&#x27;ve <i>almost missed your flight</i>. You&#x27;d believe you could reduce the margins for the subway, train, check-in, morning queue and terrorist check, but since you never know when they happen, they might happen all at once (anecdotic experience: I almost missed a SYD-LON flight and I systematically get terrorist-checked), and you don&#x27;t want to come back to your boss saying you&#x27;ve missed your $3000 flight.
