When should I get in TSA PRE line - Monday morning 830 Am Flight from Atlanta
Was curious to find out from fellow Atlanta based travelers in their recent experience with security lines for a Monday morning flight. (Although I have travelled quite a few times recently but not on early Monday morning).
flying Delta - have boarding pass and am PreCheck + Digital ID + Sky Priority
What time should i be in the line? I will use this information to figure out what time I should be leaving home. (Live 40 miles away and usually park at PNF)

In line 7am - latest. So get to PNF by maybe 6:15-6:30.
Digital ID could be 5-10 minutes (or no wait).
PreCheck is okay 15-20 minutes.
CLEAR sucks, but n/a for you.

I agree with lindros2 . Monday and Tuesday 7a pre gets you through between 7:25-7:45, with 7:30 most likely.
I see a low-to-no digital id wait before 6:45, but it quickly fills up around 7:15.

These are good tips. Thanks all.
btw - what is the difference between Digital ID and TSA Pre line. Especially in Atlanta South Terminal where the Precheck line is next to Digital Line (I have always used the Precheck line). Will in need to remove my shoes and laptop if I go through the DigitalID line.

So on Monday morning - entered the terminal building at 645 am and started heading towards the Sooth PRE security area. Was directed to head back towards baggage claim area where the line started (around Carousel # 2). The website said Wait times to be 23 minutes for PRE and 20 minutes for General
decided to stay in the PRE.
it took 40 minutes total wait time to cross security. Not a bad Experience overall.

If you drive and park at ATL and are flying or connecting domestically and are checking bags on the flight home be prepared that your bags will arrive at domestic but your car will be parked at intl. Plan accordingly.

I only do F on Mondays when im on a plane departing E or F, or when I Uber in. It’s not a bad way to go, but it all depends on my travel.
Let’s talk about the parking lot mess next! Today we were forced to the top deck in South Daily only to have no spaces and to drive out.
