Now i know it doesn’t sit well with folks but, i would gladly take 4 folks that wanna hustle and pay them more and start slanging luggage than hire assholes that can’t handle a 1 hour surge

Got the MSY at 2:55 this AM with TSA precheck and Clear+. Clear didn’t open till 4 AM but got through TSA precheck by 3:30. Regular security line was already starting on the 1st floor and a shite show. It’s unbelievable and hoping this shite gets resolved by TH (wishful thinking)

If I had known what I know now, I would have flown out of BTR and taking a connecting flight to my destination and not worried about the direct flight

Got to ATL at 3:35, walked into the south terminal at 3:50. It took an hour and 10 or 15 to get through precheck. Took a walk to the Amex lounge and waited 15 mins for it to open.

During a partial shutdown they should make tsa precheck 18 and up.

Have Clear and PreCheck. Got through in 30 minutes this morning. Tip. I stood in the Clear line which was on the third floor. Once down there walked right through PreCheck only with less than 10 people. So if they will let you down there.

Does anyone know why there seems to be randomness around this? A week ago it was Austin. Then LGA. Now it’s New Orleans. It doesn’t seem like there’s rhyme or reason. Is there any way to know if your airport will get smoked and have this nightmare? I fly out of Charlotte Wednesday. Is it just get to any airport 3 hours early these days just in case?
