But definitely not like the JFK meme lines from 2022.
I see constant lines at B. It seems my ATL to destination flights are all going out of B this year, except DCA. B has lines during Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and on the few Monday afternoon flights I’ve had. I need find another club. I don’t care for the D basement club, and B gives you a fairly decent chance of getting a laptop friendly location ( AC plus desk/ table)

I flew less in 2022, but I don’t recall any lines. I do recall no seats at DCA every one in a while.

I guess loosing access to competent to excellent customer service is my other pet peeve of long lines. I couldn’t get in to the B or D sky clubs 3 weeks ago and had to use the gate agent- while I had a paper boarding pass, the electronic one on my iPhone disappeared- major danger sign. Gate agent looked at his computer and said I was good. But when it came time to board, the boarding pass was rejected. Gate agent called for help, but was still working it along with another agent as the flight departed. My original delta connection flight 2-3 days prior had been canceled and DL rebooked me out of ATL- I shared a ride with some other passengers. Some one decided after I checked in at DCA to cancel the 2nd leg. 100% certain this could have been resolved in the SC ( mostly because they would have had 30 minutes to fix, and likely would have seen the problem.)
