I thought they list the PreCheck time as well on those boards.

Unfortunately the wait time signs aren’t always completely up to date, If 9:30 Friday is the time going through security, both sides should be relatively quick. If 9:30 is flight time, north is generally quicker. Of course, each day is different. You can also use MSP reserve and reserve your time to go through security and skip any line.

Are their any plans to reopen the MSP skyway bridge security checkpoint? It has been 'temporarily closed" for a long time.

I do the same volunteer work at MSP. I often feel that whichever checkpoint is closest to the traveler’s gate is going to be the most efficient.

Out of habit I tend to go to South almost automatically in MSP T1, especially if I need to check a bag or otherwise use the SkyPriority agents (perhaps to verify a passport, etc.), although North is obviously closer to the C gates and C SC. I have CLEAR and PreCheck and like the CLEAR line because most of the time I don't need to retrieve and show ID.

Use the TSA checkpoint at the hotel, no pre check or clear and only if you have carry on luggage. It’s open from 5-10am . Never busy I have uber drop me at the hotel vs normal drop off
