Answer the question about text:

I guess this is why you get to the airport two hours early . After check - in I breezed through security ( I did n't even have to take off my shoes ! ) . I took a look at the terminal screens and it was showing a Brussels flight at Gate 52 . I headed over , sat down , threw on some This American Life and got ready to wait for a bit .

What leads the speaker to reccomend getting to the airport early if possible ?
They had an easy time going through security and arrived at the gate with time to spare
