Inky,

“Releasing your expectations, planning ahead, and leaving enough buffer time are good practices of Emotional Mastery in airports” is good advice.  I was talking to a friend about the current flying environment these days.  People seem to have unreasonable expectation, at times.  Can one really plan on showing up to an airport an hour before a flight, getting to their destination airport, and being  at their desired location 30 minutes later without leaving room for any hiccups along the way? Generally speaking, when flying, or doing anything, we should plan on bringing our patience and planning for the unplanned.  This helps foster EM.
