Haha, yeah we've had a few of those "one hour" before departure days. One time we got there with exactly one minute to spare for check in. I was cripplingly high after making a serious effort to consume our remaining subs en route. Thought the lady at the counter was about to tell us no, but we made it. Barely.

The one time I did use Club Mobay departure service it took us longer to get thru security than the folks who did not purchase it. The line was incredibly long and not staffed correctly.
I also allow 1 1/2 hours max before departure. I fly first class though, so the longest wait is not at the ticket counters but at security. I have never come close to missing a flight.
Re: Long-timers I need advice.
Had the fastest departure ever on the 3rd, now that they have many kiosks for check-in, as the passenger is doing half the work. Much shorter time getting through the line for the agent to check bags and documents.
Re: Long-timers I need advice.
How do the kiosks work? I have seen but never used.

Weird you say that. I had the same experience when they first came out, but last December I got through fine. I have the same name situation.
