Mon Early Morning in the WN/NW/CO satellite
 

Just a word of warning - the last time I tried to catch an early morning (8am) NW TPA-MSP flight the wait for security was 50min. You couldn't even get off the train into the concourse waiting area (nowhere to step out)! I know many people missed their flights.

The problem was compounded by this being a Monday morning during Spring Break.

So please be sure to arrive plenty early if you have a Monday early AM flight (the lines were actually gone by 9:00 am), especially if you are flying NW/WN/CO.

Arrive Early
 

It is best to arrive real early on Laptop Monday for this is the day business men and women travel. Airside "A" servicing NW, SW, Continental opens at 0500, where as Airside "E" servicing Delta, US Air, Ted opens at 0430.

If you allow yourself at least two hours before your flight to arrive and get your coffee before arriving, you won't have to stand in line and it will cost less.
