Security at JNU
Sorry if this should go in a different forum, but figured you all would be the most likely JNU fliers.
I know they don't have TSA Pre-check, but is there any sort of expedited security?
Also, is a 3.5 hour layover enough time to catch a cab to the Alaska Brewery for a tour/brew and get back? Thanks!

Also, the tour isn't really a tour. They have a big room where everybody sits down, and they tell the story of the brewery's history while giving you free beer.
Edit: Just an FYI, JNU does have precheck lite (keep your shoes on), but there isn't a separate line for elite passengers. So be prepared to stand with everyone else, although it usually moves pretty quickly.

Great, thanks! Keeping shoes on at least is a plus (we basically have Pre-Check Lite here in VPS most times since Pre-Check is never open).
Pale Ales typically, but I'm always up for suggestions; thanks, I'll look into it! And I'll make sure to set up a cab for the ride back to the airport.

Arrived at JNU with 15 mins until takeoff thanks to a long wait for a cab... We kept getting ignored in favor of cruise passengers who would flag down the drivers that we called.

The room where the tour is is pretty cool in that bordering the top of the wall is a collection of many of their bottle labels. Neat to see.
Enjoy your visit!

Definitely something I didn't consider, so I'll build more time in. Or heck, pay someone else at the brewery that's there with us ha. Thanks!

Any updates on the PreCheck options at JNU; still -lite? Assuming there wouldn't be a lot of terminal traffic on a Tuesday 0700 flight in July...
TIA!

There is a pre-check lane and a regular lane but usually only one TSA person so he/she alternates taking people from the lines. AS flights at 520a, 715a (stops in Ketchikan), 729a (to Anchorage) and 8am so you will have some AS people mixed in with the DL flight. I usually don't arrive until ~55 minutes before my flights but that's me; since you are returning a rental car and it's summer with a lot of tourists who may be slow in the line I might be inclined to recommend that you get there at least 60-70 minutes before..

I went through security about 0530 for my 0700 flight; as stated there was only one agent handing ID check. There was one couple in front of me in Pre-Check and nobody in regular. The agent said it would get more crowded closer to 0600. Also good tip about food in bags; they were actively questioning all passengers about it. My two nut bars from the Best Western welcome amenity were allowed to remain in my backpack.
