How's the airport situation, given the government shutdown? Do we need to allot more travel time?

I’ve been through DFW twice since the shut down and I would say that statement is false. It’s actually been the same or quicker than before.

Just traveled through dfw this week. Agreed

Get global entry and with it you will get Tsa pre. That should take care of long lines regardless of government shutdown.

You can’t get this right now with the government shutdown if you don’t already have it

Colleagues going out of BOS said first flights of the day have been okay. DFW apparently a mess

Flew out of DFW (terminal D) yesterday afternoon. Went through TSA general line around 4:30 and had a 20 min wait. Basically the same as pre-shutdown. I have been approved for Global Entry but can't get an appointment due to the shutdown. That's what I get for procrastinating. 🤦‍♂️

Atlanta is a mess

Haven’t slept more than ~5h on a weeknight on my project in several weeks. It’s not that we finish insanely late, but if we finish at ~10.30pmish then I need to head to the hotel from the office and I can’t fall straight asleep so it’s ~12.30 - 1am; then I get up at 5.30am to go to the gym then straight to work. I know I could cut out the gym to increase sleep by 1-2h but I really value the balance I get from working out.
I feel really tired and don’t know how to adjust my schedule - any tips?
