First time traveling out of ORD on a Monday 8 AM flight. How much time do I need to give myself once I get to the airport? I have TSA pre check. I’m taking the blue line as well

It’s super easy, arrive at the airport blue line station 30min before flight boarding and you’re good

If you are in T1, don’t panic when you see the ridiculous pre check line. It moves quickly

Thank you

I’ve gotten off the Blue line 5-10 min before boarding and have made it (T3) a couple times. But the anxiety I racked up probably shaved 6 months of my life, so I’d agree with D1 that 30 before boarding (an hour before departure is good.
I want to start grabbing wholesome breakfast at Publican Tavern soon (just passed T3 security), so may toss an extra 30 min into the mix

Pre check line at least in terminal 2 moves very quick and usually isn’t long. I’ve made it from door to gate in <10. Agree that ~30min before boarding should be fine

Agreed with the consensus.

I usually aim to be curbside 45 minutes before departure. Rarely more than 10 minutes through security, five minutes to pick up a coffee, and to the gate in time to board with my group.

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
