If you are in Philadelphia, be prepared. They have shut down security for terminal C and it caused serious delays through security throughout the airport. Today (Friday at 4:00pm EST)it took me an hour and 45 minutes to get to my gate without even checking a bag. If I would have had to check a bag I would have waited another 90 minutes, minimum. Also, don't think that First Class or Elite Membership will reduce your delay on US Air (in PHL). There are no elite lines.

On the other hand smaller airports, like Kansas City, are a breeze.
