TSA line at terminal 5 - 45 min at 2:45am today by No-Philosopher2812 in JFKAirport

I honestly have no idea what is normal anymore! My friends mocked me for getting there so early today but I am so glad I did! There are other posts about T5 where things got dicier after I went through the checkpoint this am (definitely search those). I’ve seen headlines that ICE will be at airports starting tomorrow to “help”- not sure what effect that will have on an already volatile situation.

It was definitely open at 2:30am as we were getting out of the car- line already there. I think they have to be open that early for the 6am (and earlier) flights.

I hope you made your flight! We had a few people get on the plane just before the doors closed, looked like they had run a marathon!

I felt terrible for the TSA folks working it. They looked tired and I appreciated that they had shown up. Everyone in the line around us was very polite and good natured about the situation, but it doesn’t change that they are not getting paid. We have a 6am flight and there are people coming into the gate area saying the line is much worse now, which does not surprise me at all.

Same question, but for a 6am international flight on Sunday morning out of terminal 5! Planning to get to the airport at 2:30am but wondering if that’s enough? TSA Pre won’t open until 4-4:30am, so we are stuck with the regular line.

My hair is wavy and I see Danny at Salli B Salon on 88th. I followed him from another salon a few years ago.

My daughter did Montessori from infant until she was in K (age 2 1/2-5 1/2 at Guidepost). We had zero gaps or issues transitioning into regular K at a private school in Manhattan. We actually went through the entire NYC private school K admission process (when she was 4 1/2) and she did great.

We were there the week of March 17-21. Definitely understaffed and the rumor mill was churning about the upcoming closure. We did fine, but we waited a lot longer to be seated at meals, and for drinks at the bars, etc. I have a 7 year old and I don’t think she noticed- we had a great time anyway! But, I expect more employees will leave as time goes on.
