will you be booking thru one of the top tier airlines? if so, you should be flying out of the main terminal. No checked bags will help speed you thru also, just remember on what you can pack in a carry on (leave your pocket knife at home or in car). I work about 8-9 miles from the airport and usually allow 2 hours before flight time to leave work except for really early flights (all airlines have early flights and security lines are LLLLllloonnnggg!!!). I have pushed my luck and left here about an hour and a half and still made it just fine (other than my own antsy tendency kicking in). If you leave Holland by 9:45, should put you into parking by 10:45-50 ... I think you should be fine if you don't lollygag

It's doable. Park in the short term garage. Will save you 20+ minutes vs. waiting for a shuttle and won't cost you that much more since only for a couple of nights. $30-40 extra. I usually park in short term no matter what, but I also always make the company pay.

unless they've changed, you will be flying out of the eastern portion of the airport (old gates 4-9, new gates 14-18), going thru the east security which moves pretty good most of the time (Other than real early flights). As I stated, I would recommend using off-site parking, my preference is FastPark (you arrive, check in, they tell you which row to park, by the time you get out of your vehicle there is a shuttle there, pick up a few more people all on that same row and then they drop you off right outside the east security), usually about $9/day. I think you will be fine.

"We" as in you and the Mrs? Forget about it...
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

We made it on time.
We arrived at 10:45am with the flight going to leave at 12:15. Flight was actually delayed until 12:45 and we made it through security in 10 mins or so. Had plenty of time. Even grabbed a couple of those $10 beers while we waited.
