I got to the airport 1hr before liftoff last week and made it before boarding started. Layovered in vegas and didnt see any lines at TSA there either. Maybe theyve improved?
Yeah, same with LAX. I find that TSA gets the most backed up when it’s families or infrequent fliers. When you fly for business you’ve got a system down and that helps the line move faster.
Honestly? Every time I’ve had a hard time it’s been because of security. Not the drill, that’s fine, but the line. And it’s but the TSA, they’re working hard. It’s closing checkpoints so only precheck travelers can go through them. Even to where regular travelers had only one of four checkpoints to go through. Which also caused massive chaos in the ticketing area.
Then there’s the sheer fuckery that is LAX international. It is just incomprehensible without being there. For starters you get dropped off on the side of the road with a vague hand waive to walk “that way”. No signs, no helpful people nearby, just 50/50 on walking the right way.

That’s just a ruse to make you think you can cut it closer next time when there will be inexplicable delays
TSA in Vegas is relatively fast for me, precheck was like <4 minutes. Some airports feel like a coin flip on if it’s fast or not

My record at Detroit airport from stepping out of the bus to stepping into the plane is 7m43s. What is going on at your airports?

More security theatre. And more traffic. Also difference between Domestic vs International flight requirements.
Arrive FOUR fucking hours early??? I’ve flown A LOT over the years and that is just crazy. Is the extra 2 hours because of the kids or what

You must not have kids.
Heed this warning.
