I fly between ATL and IAH about 10 times a year. If you're on Delta, Delta Digital ID is by FAR your best bet in ATL.evestor1 said:the comment was about ATL's security. I go there often with friends / coworkers ... pre-check is bad there.BMX Bandit said:Quote:
pre-check and clear buddies are 20-30 minutes.
Rarely is precheck more than 5-10 minutes in my experience. And never at IAH.
Ive never waited more than 15 minutes at IAH
IAH is an unmitigated effing disaster right now - it's Afghanistan level

i fly out of north terminal at ATL. Security is bad there.
Parked in AB yesterday and went through C to see how it was and it was pretty empty about 8am.
This is my usual go-to when traveling.billyjack2009 said:
We Uber to and Taxi from the airport.
If you are not checking a bag and have pre-check go to the international terminal.
Friends don't let friends fly through DFW. Only bad things happen there.Scruffy said:
You should just drive to DFW where there isn't a construction boondoggle
Lot of people in Houston just had trees dropped on their cars.GCRanger said:
I flew into IAH on Tuesday and took the sky train from C to B to get shuttle to the rental cars. It was a breeze. Only strange thing was that the Avis rental lot had hardly any cars in it which was strange. Normally there are a couple hundred with every row 80-90% full. On Tuesday there were maybe 20 cars spread out across the place.
Same. I can't think of a time when I was in a pre-check line behind more than about 6-8 people in the last 5 years anywhere. Most of the time the line is less than 3 people.BMX Bandit said:Quote:

Not sure there's ever been a better travel investment than pre-check.
We flew out last Tuesday from C and there was literally two people in front of us at security. Unfortunately we flew back on Friday (thanks Crowdstrike) and didn't get back in until midnight but we were one of the fortunate ones to even get a flight. I've never seen IAH so busy before, especially at midnight. It was insane.
Then once an announcement came on that baggage claim wasn't locating anymore luggage until 6am made for some interesting people watching.

I am flying out of Terminal D on British Airways on Wednesday night. We are going to be dropped off so I am assuming that we should just go through security and check bags in Terminal D, is that our best bet?
Pretty sure it's the only choice to check bags on BA, they don't have a desk anywhere else
I was supposed to fly into Houston last night on Delta but my flight was cancelled, so I'm stuck in NYC for two days. According to them, there were no flights into Texas on Delta and they are paying for my hotel.
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.
Delta is a CF.
I had no issues flying American even last week thevday of the crowdstrike mess

Our AA flight to PHL at 720 am was cancelled at midnight last night.
Had to rebook to BOS on JetBlue and arrange to drive 4 hours to our final destination because AA couldn't get us all out until Thurs.
Airport is surprisingly not a cluster today. Parking was quick, traffic was not bad, and security lines were short.

Atlanta airport is jam-packed. Mothers w/ small children on the floor in the terminal. Line for customer service is 1/2 mile long. No rental cars. Few hotel options. People’ve been stuck here 3 days.

Flew Air Canada out of Terminal A today.
No problems besides AC only has 1 kiosk working to check bags and the people in front of me were morons

Don't worry breastfeeding buttgigs will get right on that.
The clearest sign that Bootyjudge is terrible at his job is that people know the name of the Secretary of Transportation (even if they refuse to spell it properly because the alternatives are much more accurate).

if on United you can check in at B and then move to any of the terminals.
When coming home from an international flight, skip UBER and get a cab instead. Walk past all those people waiting for Ubers to the very end of the walkway where the taxi stand is located. You will have a taxi within five minutes and be on your way (my experience two weeks ago).
This taxi pro tip is an absolute game changer.
Advice please.
Leaving for Cancun Monday 7:45am 7/29 United out of E with at least 1 checked bad. All 4 of us all have precheck. Return Friday E 5:30pm.
Wast planning fast park lot. So I assume ask for drop of at B, check in, pre-check security, above ground train to E.
Return, after customs, look for fast park bus at E, or tram to B or another terminal for pickup?

Customs today is a disaster. When did they completely neuter Global Entry?? Used to do the kiosk, take receipt and walk out. Today we had to do the kiosk and then go to a line 200 people deep with one guy working the counter.
Non-global entry is even more of a train wreck. Waiting for rest of family to get through that now.

Oof. Forgot to add we have global entry too. That is disappointing
How long did it take from kiosk to past the guy checking?
Wish the US could get our act together like the UK. I walked right through immigration at Heathrow in about two minutes with tier automatic gates.
In the past, we still had to take the receipt to a counter, but they usually had several open and a special line for GE that went much faster than regular line.Agman said:

Seen photos of traffic backed up at IAH nowhere near the terminals.

Can u post pics?
I just looked on Apple Maps traffic, and B looks much worse than E and others. What gives?

nope. B is much easier sailing. You are fooled by the one stretch where the ramp is closed (with the red X)Tabasco said:

Probably 35 minutes.

Yep. Was easier getting in to a foreign country then home with Global Entry.
Thx

I use fast park and they are normally picking up pretty timely at all terminals so I'd just use where you come out (it use to not be E though, they sent you to C or D)
In terms of check in, I'd go to D and then walk over to E. It's a 5 min walk

I walked right through customs yesterday and my wife and kids breezed through it today too.

It's not just the UK. Getting into the EU via CDG is a breeze.
