The lines always moved fast, but they were soooooo long. The lines never looked bad at the PreCheck South checkpoint. When I checked at North, the CLEAR and SkyPriority lines were not long, but I heard that there were times during the day when the SkyPriority/First Class/OAL elite line was long. A separate wheelchair entrance has been added at North, so that passengers in wheelchairs do not enter the SkyPriority line.
The Delta bag drop line was also
very long. For reasons I did not determine, Delta closed the self-check area around 6pm, which added to the regular bag drop line.
This weekend was heavy end-of-the-summer travel for many people as a lot of schools and universities start classes next week. But there is still Labor Day weekend......
