Question (oh lord, I sound like Dwight Schrute...): Is the show time the time you have to be at the hotel lobby for the airport shuttle, or the time you actually are at the gate? Because that makes a big difference.
Show time is time at the gate/plane. Thats when your duty starts.
Waking up, getting ready, eating breakfast (good luck finding any this early), riding the hotel shuttle, going through security, and navigating through the airport is all done during your "rest" time.
Depending on the airport/hotel, van departure times can be anywhere from 10 mins to 1 hour before showtime.
