It is similar for me about the check in, bag drop, security etc. That is the stressful bit, but maybe when you do it more often, you can get used to it. Still hope Elon will hurry up and Starship will take us there under hour with less hassle xD (it probably will be a bigger hassle tho)
More to come :)
