How to get through faster at LEX

Treat 8:30 p.m. as a hard leftover close
Official checkpoint is 4:00 a.m.–8:30 p.m. and may close on the original departure clock even if FIDS slips.
There is one ticketed-pax departure hall. Official leftover A / B after the same screening story. Official pages do not print a live gate-to-airline map — read FIDS.
Eat after TSA if you can. Official dining sits on the second level inside security. Landside leftover is Blue Grass MarketPlace 6:00 a.m.–6:00 p.m.
Official leftover: first-level bag claim / Welcome Center / rental counters / Blue Grass MarketPlace; one checkpoint; leftover Concourse A and Concourse B on the second level. The Club leftover sits on B third level. Official terminal-map page is a graphic and does not print a live airline-to-gate map.

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