long before airport should get flight

How long before the flight should I get to the airport?

How long are the security checks taking to get through. Got an early morning flight (just hand baggage) in 2 weeks, wondering if the standard time of 2 hours before the flight is OK or is it taking longer?

Based on my experience evening Aug 11th 2 hours is plenty of time, I had returned my car and through security in under 30 minutes. As you have only cabin bag and take it you will have checked in online go to the security gate just round the corner from the fish tanks if you know where I mean.

Two hours is the norm for Schengen zone flights. Usually it's overkill.

IMHO the security at FUE are hyper. They always seem to find something to slow you down. Last time it was my toothbrush not being taken out of the carry on. Yes my toothbrush. 

Just pull everything out and put it in the trays and it goes smoothly.

I should add that make sure you know the rules re what to take out of you carry on and put in trays, i.e. laptops, phone, liquids in poly bags, take your watch & belt off and put in tray or your bag along with loose change and keys before going through body scanner.

I have found that delays result from others that don't follow the procedures / rules.
