How to get through faster at FAY

Budget official 90 minutes against two printed TSA clocks
Official FAQ prints 90 minutes to two hours. Official TSA prints 3:45 a.m.–8 p.m. American.com prints an 8:30 p.m. close and PreCheck Not Available.
American.com prints TSA PreCheck Not Available and clubs Not Available. Official 3 Aug 2026 news prints a TSA PreCheck enrollment event in the Boeing Conference Room 25–28 Aug 2026 — enrollment, not a live PreCheck lane. Do not invent a PreCheck lane from that enrollment cell.
Official homepage prints two TSA checkpoints: first floor next to the airline ticket counters, then second-floor screening into the concourse. Have documents ready before the upstairs checkpoint. Official homepage news prints REAL ID full enforcement on May 7; the same official FAQ still prints a 3 May 2023 start cell. Trust the 2025 enforcement date, not the 2023 FAQ sentence.
Official Tailwind prints after security on the second floor: full-service bar, made-to-order menu, grab-and-go, coffee, smoothies, 910-835-1180. Official pages print no bottle tariff and no mapped refill landmark. Do not invent a water price.

PreCheck, CLEAR, liquids and IDs. What the TSA lets through and which programs actually save time.
