Would this make me a bad niece?
My Aunt is coming east to visit my Mom and Dad and I said I would pick her and and take her back to the airport. Her return flight is at 5, and the Jets play the Bills that day at 4pm.

You know how they say you should get to the airport 2 hours in advance of a flight.

Would it be incredibly rude if I dropped her off at three so I could get home in time for the game?

By the way, she voted for Bush in 2000.

1. You're picking her up and dropping her off for free?
You're a wonderful niece and person. Don't sweat it. ;)

4. I wouldn't feel bad at all about doing this
She did vote for Shrub.

Seriously, you're doing her a favor by dropping her off. She should have to follow your schedule then.

Enjoy the game!!

5. Not at all.
You're "supposed" to get to the airport two hours before the flight. So in fact you're doing her a favor. Yeah. That's the ticket.

8. Tell her that, thanks to "increased security measures", you heard
that she's supposed to get there three hours ahead of schedule.

Then tell her you can't sit around that long.

6. no... it would be rude if she was 'late'
that's within the 2 hour window and you know.. they have added more security steps so she'll need to be there early enough to not miss her flight :-)

7. get her there earlier
say 2:30, help her with her luggage and check in. You won't be allowed past security anyway. Just make sure you give yourself time to get her set up before you leave. (don't drop her on the curb and take off :) )

9. Even if my team was not playing football I'd drop them off that early
especially if they're flying into one of the airports local to NYC.

:hi:

12. No it wouldn't. Not at all. Take her back at 2:30ish. Cite the increased
security. Wow! A Bush supporter that isn't to faithfully frightened to fly. Whodda thunk it? You are a great niece just for driving. :hi:

13. It also looks like I'll have to take my cousin to the Today Show
I should make the most of the situation and bring a really scathing anti Bush sign.

14. Great idea!!! Make sure you cover it until the very last minute so it
will show up on the camera. They like to not show the people who protest. :hi: I'll be looking for you!!!
