My record at Detroit airport from stepping out of the bus to stepping into the plane is 7m43s. What is going on at your airports?

    What is going on at your airports?

    Looking for check in, waiting in line to check in, checking in, looking for the correct place to drop off your bags, waiting in line to drop off your bags, dropping off your bags, looking for the security check, waiting in line for security check, taking everything out of your bag for security check, security check, putting everything in the bag again, looking for a snack since it's already been two hours, waiting in line to take a snack, taking a snack, looking for where your gate will be, walking to the gate (often quite a long walk), waiting for boarding to start (if you got there in time), waiting in line for boarding, boarding.

    Honestly? Every time I've had a hard time it's been because of security. Not the drill, that's fine, but the line. And it's but the TSA, they're working hard. It's closing checkpoints so only precheck travelers can go through them. Even to where regular travelers had only one of four checkpoints to go through. Which also caused massive chaos in the ticketing area.

    Then there's the sheer fuckery that is LAX international. It is just incomprehensible without being there. For starters you get dropped off on the side of the road with a vague hand waive to walk "that way". No signs, no helpful people nearby, just 50/50 on walking the right way.
