So how long does it typically take to get through AS security for an 8AM weekday flight these days?

If you're a Gold MVP, the answer would be zippo.

I've only had experience at the D/N Gates for early morning (i.e. 6am) flights recently. Then the normal line would be about 10 minutes long. I'm assuming about 20-30 minute delay two hours later (maybe).

Thanks! By the way - were you in the Subway on 2nd Ave. for lunch today?

I had a 8:20 flight on monday. The difference in the security line at the D/N gates is astonishingly different than at 6am.

The front (UA) counter had already "closed" the IAD flight. It was 7:35. She said that I wouldn't make it through security, b/c it was already double queued. I inquired if the 1K line had been shut down, and she replied, "OH yea, that's right. You can make that flight!"

By the way... I work in NJ, so it wasn't me at Subway! http://www.flyertalk.com/airports/ftairports_forum/wink.gif

The times vary widely. On a non-holiday weekend, non-peak day (Tues-Wed, Sun) the C and D/N checkpoints have an early AM wait time of 5-15 minutes, mostly 5 or less. On peak days or near a holiday (like today) - the morning waits were 45 minutes +. Even the elite lines had a 10 minute wait this morning. Look for these times to increase as we get into the busier months until more checkpoints and staff are added in June.
