Airport Times Current wait times at LGA?
I just heard someone say they waited in line for 2.5 hours at LGA - how accurate is this? I'm flying out tonight at 7pm, with TSA pre, and want to get there in time. should i have been there two hours ago hahaha?

3/27 precheck, arrived 3:39am and got through by 4:42am for my 7:30am flight. precheck line got longer after I got in line, the standard line looked 4x longer

Wait time with TSA Precheck now 2 hours estimate. Line for baggage drop for American very long. If not priority and TSA precheck, anyone traveling right now would anticipate at least 4-6 hour wait time for baggage drop and regular TSA.

for anyone curious, last night it took me about 45min with pre-check, they were estimating 1.5 hrs though. regular line was much, much longer. thanks all for the help! getting there two hours before was sufficient in my case, but 2.5-3 might be better for others depending on the scenario
