JFK PreCheck Hours
Does anyone know what the PreCheck line hours are at JFK? I am flying on a 9:30pm JFK-SFO flight and plan to get to the airport between 8:30pm and 9:00pm. With the lines being as brutal as they have been, PreCheck will be key...

When I connected through JFK in February, the PreCheck lane closed at 7:15pm (which I missed by 10 minutes).

It definitely closes some time between 7 and 7:30 pm. It definitely won't be open for your 9:30 pm flight.
I was on a 9:55 pm on the 11th; EMS skipped most of the line and a PreCheck stamp from the TSA agent still enabled me to keep my shoes on and walk through a metal detector.

Is the AirfarWatchdog chart reliable? For example: Boston 4AM-8PM(?) and 3PM-6PM. Perhaps they meant 8AM?
Also, it shows N/A for JetBlue at DCA. Is this true? Is there no PreCheck for JetBlue at DCA?

I flew out of T5 at JFK Thursday night (5/19). I was there around 7:30 pm and PreCheck was already closed. The guy in front of me who flies them a lot says they always close it 7-7:15.

I take the 6:30am flight to Orlando several times a year and last month was the first time PreCheck was not open for me. It always has been in the past. I usually fly Tuesday or Thursday.
