How early should we be at the airport before departure?

Flight leaves at 2:20PM. Our logistics allow us to be at the airport at either 8:30 AM (approx 6 hrs. prior to departure) OR 11:15 AM (3 hrs prior). I sure would like to not have to rise and shine at 6AM to be there 6 hrs early when 3 hours would be sufficient. We have check-in luggage. Any advice??

Allowing 3 hours should be plenty of time. We always allow 2 hours ahead for most flights and 2.5 hours for Caribbean flights.

I would definitely go with the 11:15 arrival. With 3 hours even if there are longer lines you will most likely be at the gate with well over an hour to spare.
