So...last night I'm on flight 1126 (LAS-SFO), which leaves at 5:42pm. After reading this thread, I figure I better get to the airport early. I check in at the counter at about 3:45pm and make my way up to the security area so I can get to gate D35. I get there and...
I get through security in 10 minutes!
Oh well, considering the amount I was losing at the various craps tables, I figure if nothing else, getting there early saved me from losing a lot more $$$.
Thanks FT!
