Not bad... more than half of these are markets currently unserved. Even with less than daily flights, it will be a nice option.
This will definitely have a little effect on CAK... though since Allegiant's service is less than daily, it won't be as significant as it seems.

CLEVELAND, OH (WOIO) -
Allegiant Air announced Wednesday that it would be adding services to the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. The airline also announced that they will have four nonstop routes to vacation destinations this winter.
Allegiant's already existing service is at the Akron-Canton Airport. The move to Hopkins represents a period of expansion for the airline.
...
Services moving from Akron to Cleveland include nonstop flights to Tampa Bay, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Savannah and Myrtle Beach. New services include nonstop flights to Jacksonville, Austin, New Orleans and Phoenix. Fares for some flights are as low as $39.
"Not only are we pleased to have Allegiant as our newest business partner at Cleveland Hopkins Airport, we're encouraged with the variety of destinations they are adding for our passengers," said Interim Airport Director Fred Szabo in a release. "Of the 10 markets they will be flying, we are initiating service to four new markets and adding service to six destinations. This represents a big win for northeast Ohio and our region."

TSA PreCheck is now available at United checkpoint C on Monday mornings. I went through Monday morning at 5:00 am and the main PreCheck at B had a full line and I'm guessing about a 15 minute wait. I went through PreCheck at C in about a minute. They had 3 ID checkers and 3 xray belts working the line. ^^

Do you know if it will be any other times outside of that window? I've found it pretty annoying my last 3 trips out of CLE (usually late afternoon/early evening) when I waited longer for Pre at the B checkpoint in CLE than I have in ORD, TPA, and a few others recently. Only having one ID checker and belt running did not help. My bag was selected for screening my last trip out and from the time I entered the line to the time the bag check was complete was 28 minutes - ridiculous, IMO, for an airport of CLE's size.
10-15 minutes of that was just waiting for someone to come and check my bag because they were backed up.

Everything the airport management idiots did to CLE made the passenger experience worse -- moving TSA Pre to B only (and eliminating B as a regular screening checkpoint), making the parking shuttles stay at the limo lot... it's like they were looking for ways to intentionally screw up the passenger experience. I honestly have not found one thing they did that has any true improvement on the passenger experience -- "yay, more windows!" is about the extent of it.

Sunday @ 0630 wasn't "necessary". Still PreCheck B-only today, but 2 ID checkers and both lanes running- 7 minutes start-to-end.

It would be a little bit quicker if they had an airport employee at PreCheck B to ensure pax had it on their BP. Every time I've used it since it reopened, there's a decent number of people who have NK/F9 and non-PreCheck BPs that clog up the ID check queue.

OTOH, when Pre is open at C there's always someone gatekeeping for Premier/Pre/General
