I've also left at the same time and had almost no one in either line. So there's no way to know.

I'll be glad when DL opens an airside lounge in May 2013, but T4 has it's own issues that DL will hopefully address.

We were flying in Business Class when we hit the mess last week and used the Business Class line. The problem, however, is that the Business Class line only gets you to the ID checker faster. Once past the ID checker the lines merge. We were past the ID check in maybe two minutes, but then waited 40 to get through the checkpoint. It was a real cluster...
