Eh, but of an exaggeration. The main one is Hobby in Houston, next one is New Orleans (MSY) and it’s like 77 min…everywhere is fairly normal and I’m in and out of airports half the month.
Because I can fly out of Shreveport, or any of the small airports between Shreveport and DFW. DFW is a PITA to drive through if you have to go anywhere around rush hour. Then the parking sucks, and you have to deal with a bus unless you park in the garage. Sad part is I get free airport parking and tolls with my DV license plate and I'd still rather drive to Shreveport and park right up beside the building.
I've flown enough in and out of DFW over the roughly 40 years I've traveled. At one time I did it every week - in Sunday and out Friday. Daytona to DFW. Daytona airport was the best - I've shown up there before with a checked bag after they started boarding. I still had time to get thru precheck, get a water and diet coke, and get to my seat with no issues. I did 160 segments that year - the airport people and the AA people knew me.
Millions of airline passengers are finding out. Airports are starting to have 3-4 hour TSA lines.

Good to know. Just found out I have to fly to VA the beginning of April. Gonna try to avoid flying out of DFW.
Edit - those delays were on OAN this morning but I only caught it in passing. It may have been a talking head instead of an anchor.

Here’s the current wait times for security lines at DFW…not sure why you would avoid flying out of there

Yes, it's bad here in Houston. They had to send in TSA from Dallas to help. Some were held up 6 hours. I hope the demorats pay in the election.
