TSA lines at PHL ???? (airports, move, guidelines)

[CarnivalGal]

I will be travelling back to Phila in a few weeks. I am from there and fly back frequently, so I am pretty familiar with PHL. But I haven't been back since October (i.e. before the TSA line nightmares).

I was just wondering is anyone can tell me what the lines have been like? BTW, I did apply for the TSA Pre-check, but there's a good chance that it won't be completed by my travel dates because they are so backed up.

TIA!

I don't think Philly has the TSA delays that have been reported in the news, at least the times I've flown in or out. Immigration lines are also light and move fast. That said, I'm an elite traveler, so I may not be the best person to comment about regular lines.

I think most people are arriving late at the airports. If you follow the airlines time guidelines, you should be fine.

You can also check the wait times at the TSA website https://apps.tsa.dhs.gov/mytsa/wait_times_home.aspx
