It’s realistically 2.5 hours from call to when you have to electronically check in, which uses geo fences at the airport. So, you can be outside of security and inside the geo fence. Also, there is a 10 minute buffer to be electronically checked in.
CBA verbiage:
The call-out period for a Short Call Reserve shall be no less than two hours and thirty minutes (2:30) from the initial Positive Contact attempt. Co-terminal exceptions: i. LGA: no less than two hours and forty-five minutes (2:45) ii. LAX: no less than three (3:00) hours iii. PBI: no less than three hours and fifteen minutes (3:15) iv. All new Co-terminals: no less than two hours and thirty minutes (2:30) plus the LIMO travel time as established in Section 8 .E .
edit: lax is no longer a co-terminal, it’s a base, and i didnt look up if that changed back to 2:30 since it’s a base and not a co-terminal. Nothing else has changed that I’m aware of though.
