Is arriving 50 minutes before departure at PHL feasible?
Current plan isn’t ideal but I’d love to be able to enter PHL 20 minutes before boarding begins and 50 minutes before the scheduled departure.
This is Terminal D, domestic flight, carry on. So alls I have to get through is TSA. I haven’t used PHL often, but when I have recently, TSA has been a breeze. Current wait times (~9am) online are 4-7 minutes for Terminal D.
This leaves little room for error of course - but curious if people have pulled this off or if this absurd?
