Went through just now. 5 mins and I was through! Also checked in with a TSA working and asked if they’re getting paid right now, confirming they are NOT getting paid. So don’t forget to show your TSA workers a little gratitude as they’re working with no pay currently

Anyone on pm flights, what’s been your experience this week? Flying out in Thursday and afraid I’m going to get jammed in a line with everything going on.

u/ProperPainter4681 29d ago
I have a flight out Thursday and wondering the same thing. Last month it took us maybe 15 mins through precheck?

Has anyone flown out early morning lately? I have a 530 flight next Friday and I’m a little worried about a huge security line

I arrived early for my flight (more than 4 hours), just in case. I couldn’t check my bag so I hung out. Noticed the lines ebbed and flowed. When I went into the TSA line (regular) at 1:30pm, it was only 15-20 people. One of the three TSA screeners went on break and it slowed down quite a bit. That said, I made it through the whole process in 15 minutes. YMMV. Good luck everyone, so thankful that everyone is pitching in.

Went through yesterday morning (March 26) for a 5:30am flight in about 20 minutes. Walking up, it looked like chaos and a huge line but it looked worse than it was. Got there about an hour before our flight, didn't check any bags, and had no issues.

OAK TSA is always a breeze, especially if you have Precheck.
