Irony of ironies: having read about increasingly long TSA lines at airport check-in points due to increases in passenger traffic and funding cuts -- as well as accounts of congestion resulting from extensive construction underway at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, we decided to take no chances.
Diane Hartt picked us up promptly at 7:30 AM for our 10:20 AM flight to Chicago. No traffic enroute meant we arrived at Hopkins around 8:15 AM. Check-in lines were totally non-existent, both at American and TSA; and we ended up with TSA PRECHECK status as well, so we waltzed right on through without even having to remove shoes, coats or iPad for screening!
Heidi was disappointed, having looked forward to claiming the "over 75" exemption for the first time .
We got to our departure gate by 8:30 AM! So much for "over planning"....
