WN and DL use the same security checkpoint but different airside. The WN airside is newer and has much nicer food court area with better restaurants.

DL only leases the 70-79 pier, the rest of the airside is CUTE and managed by GOAA with the INTL airlines getting first preference before and DL can use it if there is space. The 80-89 and 90-99 pier are dead from 9am-2pm but in the afternoon are packed with several widebodys going to Europe.
