Yeah, I'm one of those early birds too. One less thing to worry about.

This last time in Lilongwe was a little over-kill though. My flight
left at 23:50. I was travelling from about 5 hours away (by car). I
didn't want the driver to have to drive in the dark (along the border
to Mozambique for about an hour ... the war is over, but you never
know) so I got to the airport at 6pm. The last scheduled flight before
mine left at around 4 pm. At 6 pm I was the only passenger in the
whole airport. A "diner" closed about 30 minutes after I got there.
They left the lights on so I wouldn't have to sit alone in the dark.
There was one other person in the whole airport, a policeman. I rather
enjoyed his company.
