Hotel and airport question

Found out our Saturday afternoon October 29th flight on AA was canceled. No notice given but I know to check every now and then. We are now on a 6:00 am flight Sunday. How early should we arrive at the airport? Normally we do 2 hours but it seems to be overkill to show at 4:00 am. Also the condo we are staying at is already booked so need a place to stay that is quite with ac so we can get some sleep. Is Irma a place that will work for us? Not looking to spend much since we won’t be spending much time there.

Check to see what time the American desk is staffed. No reason to arrive before then. Bet it changes before then, we don't have flights that leave here that early usually.

This is what is posted, for now, and that doesn't look right: Sunday - Friday: 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. Saturday: 9:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m.

I take it you are on the Aeromex flight out to Mexico City? You will be good at arriving 1.5 hours before in Zih.

No Dave, it’s our return. ZIH to Phoenix with a lovely 5 1/2 hour layover and then home to Fresno. I was thinking an hour and a half would be plenty, thank you. We are flying American so we get the fun of being searched by customs in Zihuatanejo when we come in on the 22nd. Maybe I should fill our suitcases with old rusty treble hooks. Lucky for you we are not at your place this time.

An American flight leaving at 6am??? :-( Maybe they are changing their whole time schedule? They are clearly overnighting that plane. Weird. I am sitting on a new hip, so won't be down for a while, :-|

No, just the last night or at least most of it since we will be leaving at 4:00 am for the airport.
