CAVS Parade Traffic
Took me about 1:15 to park at a Snow Rd. facility and get shuttle to CLE. Tons of CAVS fans going to CLE for RTA train and parking at airport and Snow Rd. lots. All parking is either near or at capacity. I'm sure that many passengers couldn't check bags because of cut off time and probably missed flights, although they left in a reasonable amount of time to get to CLE. Go CAVS!

I'm really happy for the home team, but wild horses couldn't drag me any closer to downtown today, than I already am.

The city looked awesome with those 1.3 million people downtown. Good PR for the city.
Working in business for many years numbers can always be modified to make them what a business wants them to read. How about a few years before the hub closure announcement a airline executive said Cleveland was one of the more profitable hubs.

Lots of hubbub today on FOX8 about "unveiling" the changes and "construction walls finally down"... of course, no real change generally disappointed with how insignificant the changes really are as far as comfort or convenience goes.
I'm also [unreasonably exceptionally] perturbed that it appears TSA PRE has permanently moved to the B checkpoint for no apparent reason other than forcing C concourse passengers to involuntarily detour through the "food court" on their way to gates. Curious who the best contact to voice my dissatisfaction with that decision is...

As did I... but as of this morning there was no Pre Check signage at C, B is "Pre Check Only" and the ticket counter agents were directing Pre Check pax to B... My understandig is effective today this is the new scheme but I'd love to be wrong... I hated the B TSA pre when it was "temporary", really would not enjoy it as a permanent change...

I was there on CAVS weds, all the peoples going downtown on the RTA were clogging all the nearby roads, as well as all the rental car shuttles. The entire baggage claim area was flooded with a line to the RTA. Fortunately, the PRE in A was 2 people deep and it took no time to get thru.
I'm all happy that everyone was properly using public transport, but they really ought to have had a better way to deal with people actually using the airport.

Security Checkpoint B will re-open today as our TSA Pre-Check checkpoint at 4 a.m. TSA Pre-Check will no longer be available at Checkpoints A & C.

Per the airport official Facebook page, they're only doing B from now on.
I didn't think to pump him for additional info at the time, since I only have to deal w/ PreCheck 99.5% of the time these days, but it sounded like A & C would be the big long lines only for standard Y pax, and the (theoretically) shorter lines for (most?) airlines' Premier pax and all TSA PreCheck would be B hereafter.

You can put this firmly in the "rumor" bucket for now, but I was speaking with a CLE airport employee on Saturday, and he indicated the plan was for Checkpoint B to be exclusively both TSA PreCheck and Premiere.

Was not helped by having a single ID checker and a random TSA stander-arounder who seemed to have no purpose in life other than to reconfigure the queues about every 10 minutes. (Not sure why he couldn't be persuaded to use the other podium to also check IDs but nothing about the TSA makes sense if you spend too much time thinking about it...
