At just over 2,500 feet, it's the highest point on the TMT. In spring, look for red currant blooming here. From Tom's Crossing, the West Tiger #2 Trail heads steeply uphill providing another way to reach that summit. Continue down the TMT on many switchbacks and, in about 0.3 mile, note the junction with the K3 Trail.
I rarely show up more than 1.5 ahead of time. Another idea: technically, the ticket counters usually open 24 hrs before your flight, and sometimes this is the only way to easily get special seats like exit rows.
Usually for an international flight (out of europe) you should be there about 3 hours before the flight. for a European flight, u can be there 2 hours before the flight. But to be honest there is no point turning up that early unless you plan to go shopping at the airport, otherwise you will wait around for ages.
