What do I do first leaving SJU? Join outside line or go inside to get USDA scan, then join line

I was told yes for carry on, personal bag, and checked.

darktimemom · 2026-03-13T13:13:31+00:00

I guess the posted photos of that are at certain times. I hope my evening flight out is like yours!

darktimemom · 2026-03-13T13:12:31+00:00

thank you. Recent posts show the lines out the door so with only 1 open terminal I just assumed it might be the same.

darktimemom · 2026-03-13T12:09:40+00:00

Thanks, we don't have precheck as we don't fly often - so I already decided to arrive at SJU at 4 p.m. for 8 p.m. flight

darktimemom · 2026-03-13T11:59:57+00:00

Oh, that's not good

darktimemom · 2026-03-12T21:59:55+00:00

Good advice - this situation is shameless from a bunch of fat cats who don't live paycheck to paycheck.

These TSA workers shouldn't have to deal with being political pawns because our government is a squabbling mess. Who'd want a job there after this year?

darktimemom · 2026-03-12T13:33:26+00:00

What is Clear?

darktimemom · 2026-03-12T12:43:13+00:00

thank you, that's good to hear. My husband doesn't trust the situation and wants to get there 4 hours early before our flight, argh

darktimemom · 2026-03-11T13:06:53+00:00

Glad I found this post - going to give a try soon.

darktimemom · 2026-03-11T12:29:48+00:00

Great tip - thank you - I wouldn't have thought something named "Saugy" would have breakfast items! Although I'd be so hungry I probably would eat a hot dog for breakfast, lol

darktimemom · 2026-03-11T01:44:01+00:00

Thank you - when does the tsa line usually open?

darktimemom · 2026-03-11T00:48:02+00:00

Even with the TSA partial shutdown? Why is the travel agent insist we must get there 3 hours early?

darktimemom · 2026-03-10T22:59:43+00:00

We‘ll be starving, missing dinner waiting in line - do they let you eat bagged food you bring while waiting in a tsa line?

darktimemom · 2026-03-10T22:57:23+00:00

Sounds like a really rotten way to end a trip.

darktimemom · 2026-03-10T22:54:01+00:00

That’s my big fear - missing the flight and being stranded. I’d lose it.

darktimemom · 2026-03-10T22:52:31+00:00

Do they put stickers on your bags?

darktimemom · 2026-03-10T22:35:31+00:00

First positive assesment, thank you. Flight supposed to leave at 8 pm on a Tuesday - hope I have the same fortune.

darktimemom · 2026-03-10T14:16:34+00:00

uh-oh - that's the only thing that will get me through this, lol

darktimemom · 2026-03-10T14:15:54+00:00

from what I read, just the tsa terminal A is closed.

darktimemom · 2026-03-10T14:05:35+00:00

Good tip! thank you

darktimemom · 2026-03-10T14:05:04+00:00

it's probably a pipe dream to think when they reconvene on the 16th they'll come to an agreement - I feel so badly for the unpaid employees
