Trying to figure out how close we can cut it if we need to check bags. I am Gold, so hopefully the check-in line will be shorter, but we can't do precheck with the kids so will need to wait in the security line. Obviously, there's personal taste involved and everyone's comfort with cutting things close may be different, but it would help to get a sense of how long the checkin and security lines tend to be mid-day on a weekday. Likely flying out of F given our destination (SDF) so if anyone has insight into how things are over there I'd be especially grateful.
