Arrive 2 hours domestic, 3 international
PreCheck stays the reliable shortcut. A-West and D/E can be faster than the crowded middle checkpoints — use the airside connectors.
A-West is the premium cluster; F is the long walk
Most terminals connect airside. Budget extra time for Terminal F regional gates and for walking A-West to D/E.
Eat in the A/B/C and D/E connectors
The connectors beat generic gate pizza. If you have lounge access, A-West and the D/E Chase room are the sit-down meals.
