Speaking as a fully paid-up member of the 'dad gets family to the airport 3 hours early' brigade, I couldn't agree more. If it's just me travelling, maybe two and a half hours.

Residents in East Oxford gathered yesterday to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the installation of the Cowley LTNs.
Installed during lockdown to facilitate active travel as a response to concerns over reduction of public transport use during the pandemic, the schemes started in March 2021.
