I've cut my business travel within the USA due to the variable time it takes to get through security -- on a good day I can breeze through in 20 minutes or less... on a bad day it can take 90 minutes or more. So to be assured of making my flight, I need to plan for the worst.
Even real-time security wait times are little help since even if it shows 20 minute waits 2 hours before the flight, an equipment problem or personnel shortage can make that wait much longer before I get to the airport.
- moonka 8y agoI've cut my leisure plane travel for the same reason. I used to fly ~10 trips a year, but in the past few years I've cut back to 2-3, and that's mostly to visit family.

- Johnny555 8y agoI did. Well, Global Entry. Still subject to equipment failure or other slowdown. Clear might be better, but I refuse to spend $179 to avoid an inefficient process I'm forced to endure - it's easier to just stop flying.
