How long do you normally arrive before a domestic flight?
I know 90 minutes is recommended, but what if I don't have any checked luggage?
I feel pretty stupid for asking this question, because I fly fairly often. However, I'm used to immediately setting off for an international destination rather than connecting in the United States.
On Monday, I have to take an airport connection bus. It leaves at 4:30am and arrives to the airport at 6:05am. My flight is at 7:30am. Do you think that's enough time for a domestic connection? The alternative is leaving at 2:30am and arriving at 4:30am, followed by a flight and six hour connection.
What do? Bus company says it has a 98% on-time rate, and I've used them lots before without problems.

That's plenty of time because you'll skip rush hour traffic at that time of morning. If you can check-in online at home and print out your ticket or use an electronic ticket on your phone then you'll absolutely breeze through.

I like to arrive at least an hour before. If security is quick, I don't mind killing time in an airport. Your 6:05 arrival for a 7:30 flight seems just fine to me, particularly, as noted above, if you're already checked in and don't have baggage to check.
My wife likes to cut things closer than I do--She prefers to arrive at the airport no more than an hour ahead of time. She's often even closer than that. And she's never missed a flight.

Keep in mind that the doors to the plane close earlier ten the departure time, of course.
And me, I like a little cushion in case traffic, security lines, a flat tire, and all that...

About 3 hours, so I can have 2 hours in the bar.
You'll be fine with your timings,OP.

Depends on the airport, if you already have your boarding pass, and time of day (around early AM. noon, and around 5 TSA lines can get long.
90 should be more than enough time, but if you have a ticketing issue or some other complexity that the airline agent cant solve, 60 can cut it close.
better safe than sorry.
