1 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:14,400 Speaker 1: Hey, folks, it is Saturday, March twenty first, it is 2 00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,239 Speaker 1: day thirty six of the partial government shut down. And 3 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,479 Speaker 1: what impact is it having today after a month. Well, 4 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: if you're at Atlanta Hartsville Jackson International Airport right now 5 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: as we are recording this, the current main TSA security line, 6 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: the wait is two hours and five minutes. And with that, 7 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ. That is 8 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: a real and if you want to try another one 9 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: somewhere else in the airport, they have a couple more. 10 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,520 Speaker 1: The other two. One of them's ninety minutes and one 11 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 1: is ninety five. Now we've gone through Atlanta a whole 12 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: lot in our lives robes. 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 2: Is that typical? 14 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 3: No, that is not git all weekend. 15 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 2: It's a busy airport. 16 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,360 Speaker 3: It's a busy airport. 17 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 4: But I would even think on a Saturday morning, that's 18 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 4: usually a chill time at an airport. Thursday night, Friday night, 19 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,960 Speaker 4: Sunday night, those are all big travel nights from what 20 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 4: I can recall. 21 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: Saturday mornings, well, Saturday morning is when a lot of 22 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: people do want to take off and go somewhere. They're 23 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: heading somewhere. You throw in, what do we have now? 24 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: Spring break going on. 25 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 4: Oh, that's true right now as well. It's a spring 26 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 4: break month. 27 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: You reeled off. 28 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: Do A lot of people know we are seasoned travelers, obviously, 29 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,919 Speaker 1: but if folks hearing our voice right now, it seems 30 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:31,960 Speaker 1: common sense. What are the busiest days times generally to fly. 31 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: You just hit on a couple they're already. But Monday 32 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: morning and Thursday night, those make sense. 33 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 3: Yes, they absolutely make sense. 34 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 4: And look, I think one of the big hacks this 35 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 4: is why I'm a little shocked that it's already two 36 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 4: hours and five minutes, is that when you get I 37 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 4: guess it is a little bit later, But when you 38 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 4: get one of the first flights out of an airport, 39 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 4: it's your best shot at it not being delayed, first 40 00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 4: of all, and perhaps having the least amount of crowds. 41 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: Oh that was before, my dear. 42 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 1: Yes, getting there and getting the early flight they'll keep 43 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: you from having a flight cancelation or delay. But it 44 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: is doing nothing right now for these tsa wait times. Yes, folks, 45 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: we are hopping on here. We're going to go through. Look, 46 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot out there and people telling you tips 47 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: and tricks and all the stuff you can do. 48 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 2: Frankly, ropes. There's not a whole lot. 49 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 1: There's a handful of things, maybe five, but it's not 50 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: a whole lot we can do to avoid it. 51 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 3: That's the hard part. 52 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 4: Even folks who are seasoned travelers and have all the 53 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 4: tools at their ready, still it's whether or not you 54 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 4: can afford some of these tools because they are expensive, 55 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 4: and whether or not you actually are forced to travel 56 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 4: at certain times. Sometimes you don't have the option to 57 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 4: pick some of these lesser travel days or times. That's 58 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 4: pretty much your wiggle room to have something that you 59 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 4: pay for, some service, or trying to rearrange your flights 60 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 4: for the least traveled periods. 61 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: So we're going to help you out here a little 62 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 1: bit and quickly the update right now at least when 63 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: is this going to end? We don't know, and there's 64 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: no sign, no indication, no hope, no offering. 65 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,839 Speaker 4: Yeah, they even brought Home in in the guy who 66 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 4: solved all the problems in Minneapolis. He didn't solve all 67 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 4: the problems, but certainly got fail well. 68 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 3: He righted the ship. Everything was a total mess. 69 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 4: He came in and he made things clear, and it 70 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 4: seemed like he was a voice that both Republicans and 71 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 4: Democrats respected to an extent. 72 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: You know what, I didn't realize this to your point. 73 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: Homan met with Republicans and Democrats on Thursday. Rome's They said, 74 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: it's the first time in six weeks that both sides 75 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: have gotten in a room to discuss the shutdown. 76 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 4: Well, that's disgusting. First of all, that is hauling and 77 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 4: that should not be allowed. But yes, if one guy 78 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 4: can bring them together and look over Ice, this was 79 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 4: this is all over Ice, So it makes sense to 80 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 4: bring and the guy who at least solved that problem, 81 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 4: this basic standoff that was going on in Minneapolis now 82 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 4: coming in to try and solve I actually felt hopeful 83 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 4: for the first time hearing that he was getting him. 84 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: Yes, he met with him on Thursday and Friday. Nothing 85 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: came out of that. But here we are on day 86 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,239 Speaker 1: thirty six. Now they did vote again, was it Thursday 87 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: or Friday? In the Senate? But what is the same 88 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: thing they did in the last yet even close? You're 89 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: just going to keep voting on the same legislation. What's 90 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: the point? But that is what they are currently doing 91 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: once again. But yes, it failed once again on Friday, 92 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 1: and not even all of the senators got involved. 93 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 2: To vote. They didn't even bother the vote. 94 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 4: Honestly, there have only been five votes correct, So that's 95 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 4: also appalling, And not that you want them to keep 96 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 4: voting on the same thing with the same outcome, but 97 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 4: to not even do anything to give some allowance on 98 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 4: one side to see where the vote heads the next time. 99 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 4: To have only had five votes in thirty some days, 100 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 4: thirty six days where people aren't being paid, anyone who 101 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 4: has to travel either for business or play, and this 102 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 4: again is spring break season. It's just unacceptable that they're 103 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 4: not working harder and making allowances. 104 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 3: That's what it is. 105 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 4: That's what our founding fathers set up, so that you 106 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 4: have to negotiate. You don't get everything you want. You 107 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 4: don't get it your way or no way. 108 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: And a reminder there are food banks being set up, 109 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 1: donations are being made, tip boxes are even set up 110 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: at some airports to pay the people that we say 111 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 1: are incredibly important to this country, safety, our tsa agents. Again, 112 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: I think another miss paycheck is when. 113 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 4: Is it this? 114 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 3: I believe it's next Friday. 115 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: Okay, duff he did mention that, so, yes, they have 116 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: missed a couple of paychecks, one full paycheck already those 117 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,520 Speaker 1: rates continue to be up there. Call out rates are 118 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: still at around ten percent, they say, nationally, but some 119 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: airports we have seen are going up into the twenties, 120 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: thirties and even forty plus. Percentage of TSA workers who 121 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 1: are calling out day and day out not because they're 122 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: just pissed. They're trying to find a way to make money, 123 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: world to put food on the table, their money. They 124 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 1: are told you have to come to work, but you're 125 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: not going to get paid. Who would be okay with that? 126 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 4: And it's fair that most Americans can't miss a paycheck. 127 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 4: I couldn't miss a paycheck for the majority of my 128 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,119 Speaker 4: first i'd say fifteen years on the job. I could 129 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,279 Speaker 4: not have missed one paycheck. I had to not take 130 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 4: maternity leave as long as I wanted to because I 131 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 4: had to get paid. Like everyone who works understands, you 132 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 4: can't just not get a paycheck. 133 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,760 Speaker 3: Not getting two paychecks. That's devastating. 134 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: And we should a reminder folks with folks you're seeing 135 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: at the TSA gates. These folks are making forty fifty 136 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 1: thousand dollars, so you can't if you have a family 137 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: and depend on what city you're living in you got 138 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: to drive to an airport that's way out somewhere. That's 139 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: just it does not work. It doesn't make sense. So 140 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,599 Speaker 1: that is where we are with the shutdown. So what 141 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 1: does this mean for all of us at the airports? 142 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: It continues, These long lines continue, So everyone start with 143 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: that Robes. 144 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: We kind of hit on it. 145 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: First of all, when to fly, These are strategies that 146 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: can help if you have the option. Robes, you do 147 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: not want to fly on a Thursday evening and a 148 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: Monday morning, and it's because we are uch very frequent travelers. 149 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: Those are the times you get the rush of business 150 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:11,119 Speaker 1: traveled at the airport. 151 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 4: Yes, and add to that Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. 152 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 3: Correct. 153 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 4: I'm surprised Sunday is not in there because I've always 154 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 4: thought that was a tough time to fly as well. 155 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: But when should you fly? 156 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 4: If you have the option to kind of wiggle your 157 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 4: travel days midweek and in the morning, you're going to 158 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 4: have your least probability of delays. 159 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,119 Speaker 3: We're talking from six am until ten am. 160 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 4: You and I got on a I thought it was 161 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 4: maybe even a five am flight, and I thought this 162 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 4: is absurd, But you know what, it was easy, breezy 163 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 4: get through. 164 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 3: It's tough to. 165 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 4: Wake up early for a lot of folks, I know, 166 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 4: but man, if you can avoid standing in line for 167 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 4: two hours, I mean, think about it, Getting through the 168 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 4: Atlanta security right now is more than two hours. 169 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: Now you've got to go walk to your gate. You 170 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 3: need another hour. 171 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 4: You have to leave for the airport five hours before 172 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 4: your flight takes off at this point to make sure 173 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 4: you don't miss your flight. 174 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 3: That's where we are. 175 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 2: So that's the other tip. 176 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: They are giving you a lot of people you know 177 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: already to get to the airport early. They're telling you 178 00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: now to get there even earlier. Now what your airport recommends, 179 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: you need to check with that airport. Now, here's another 180 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: key part, folks, keep up with your flight and your 181 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: security times, with your airport and your airline robes. I 182 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: know they have the TSA app set up, but the 183 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: first thing they tell you at the top of my 184 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: TSA app is this ain't being updated because of the shutdown. 185 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: You actually cannot trust the information or a lot of 186 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: it that you see on the TSA stuff because they 187 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: warn you it's not being updated. So you have to 188 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: check with your individual airport or airline. 189 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 3: Wow, that is crazy. 190 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: So they say follow, I mean a lot of them 191 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: post stuff on x and on social media. Follow your airport. 192 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: Make sure you have the app, that particular airline app, 193 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: and you have to do it. But Robes, we fly 194 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: in Atlanta, maybe one of the airports we've flown out 195 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: most through most of our lives. 196 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 2: Two hours is not normal? 197 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,840 Speaker 3: Is that absolutely not? 198 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 4: Look there are longer lines at Atlanta's airport. I always 199 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,839 Speaker 4: anticipate that. We always know it might be upwards. Worst 200 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 4: case scenario forty five minutes, maybe two hours and five 201 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 4: minutes on Saturday morning. 202 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: That is horrific. 203 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: So the my tsa app is what it's called my 204 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: tsa app. Now, it does have it's kind of a 205 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: cool feature, Robes. It lets you kind of line up 206 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: your favorite airports, the ones you fly through, and you 207 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: have a file to say anytime you need to just 208 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,680 Speaker 1: click on that and it shows you what the times 209 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: are I check this morning, comparing times that the airports 210 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: show versus what the app is showing. 211 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: They do not line up. 212 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 3: Wow, So you cannot trust this app. 213 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: You would if you were looking at it for Atlanta 214 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: this morning, you would be off by an hour. Wow, 215 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: so it's important folks to check with your airline and 216 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: your airport and don't trust necessarily what you see from TSA. 217 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: And that makes sense. The other thing we're hear in 218 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: TSA PreCheck, Now, this has saved a lot of butts 219 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: over the years. And Rod, this is you at this point. 220 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,319 Speaker 1: You have to sign up for this thing, don't you. 221 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 3: Yes, I would say that I mean TSA pre check. 222 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 4: When we were traveling several times a week for our jobs, 223 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 4: which we did, it was it was the best and 224 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 4: most important thing I had on my person to have 225 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 4: a TSA PreCheck because it can make the difference between 226 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,199 Speaker 4: missing your flight and making your flight, and certainly takes 227 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 4: a lot of the worry and anxiety. There's nothing like 228 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,080 Speaker 4: sitting or standing in this line just looking at your clock, 229 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 4: looking at your boarding time and freaking out. It is 230 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 4: the worst feeling, especially if you're about to go on vacation. 231 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 4: You're supposed to be relaxing, you're supposed to be having fun, 232 00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 4: and you are struggling because you can't control what's happening. 233 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 3: TSA PreCheck takes a lot of that. 234 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 4: World. Yeah, the waittime you actually have this is less 235 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 4: than ten minutes for ninety nine percent of people. 236 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:11,080 Speaker 1: That's according to DJs. Yes, TSA and that's what they promote. 237 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: So it makes sense. So we hear it all the time. 238 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: We hear about it all the time. What exactly is it? Well, 239 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 1: it's something you sign up for ahead of time. It 240 00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: does cost about eighty bucks. But if you go sign 241 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: up today you could have this and as little as 242 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: three to five days, but they say there are some 243 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: longer wait times. 244 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 2: Who knows what the shutdown right now. 245 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 3: But I haven't thought about that. 246 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: They do advertise that you can have it in three 247 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: or five days. They give you a number. That number 248 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: then allows you to be in the TSA pre check line, 249 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: which robes The reason it goes so well is because 250 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 1: everybody's not having to do all the other stuff at 251 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 1: the main checkpoint, which is supposed to make this thing 252 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: go fast. 253 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 3: Correct. 254 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 4: You don't have to wear your shoes, you don't have 255 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,600 Speaker 4: to take your jacket off, you don't have to take 256 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 4: your laptop out of your carry on luggage. 257 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 3: There's a lot of. 258 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 4: Things that you don't have to do that makes the 259 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 4: line go much quicker. Plus, you've already had the background check, 260 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 4: you've already given your fingerprints, so you don't have to 261 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 4: go through any of the extra security. You actually don't 262 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 4: have to go through that metal thing that always makes 263 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 4: me nervous about the radiation I might. 264 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 3: You can just go through a quick metal detector. You 265 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 3: don't have to go through that thing that surrounds you. 266 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 4: We have to lift up your hands above your head 267 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 4: and stand there and have it circle around you like 268 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 4: you're in an MRI or something. So that's also a benefit. 269 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 4: So I have found it to be incredible. It lapsed 270 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 4: one time for me, ironically during a government shut to 271 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 4: the government shutdown with Trump's first term in office, we 272 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 4: had a long government shutdown mine laughs. 273 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 3: I tried to renew it. 274 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 4: I had about a month where I couldn't get it. 275 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 4: And I'm telling you the difference was night and day. 276 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 4: So if you do not have TSA pre check, highly recommend. 277 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 2: Again. 278 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: This will call you about eighty bucks. Where can you 279 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: sign up? Go to the website. It's not going to 280 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: be a horer for a define. Just TSA PreCheck you 281 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: Google that you find, you put in your zip code 282 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: and it gives you all the areas around that you 283 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: can go sign up. You just need some documentation. This 284 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: isn't a complicate, but it'll be at a CBS or 285 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 1: some local store, at a Staples. Little places like that 286 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: are set up, so this isn't a shouldn't be too 287 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,720 Speaker 1: difficult if you want to do this. This is also 288 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,439 Speaker 1: a really big deal folks. If you have TSA PreCheck 289 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,760 Speaker 1: and you have kids, if they are under thirteen, they 290 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 1: can go with you through TSA PreCheck, no questions asked, 291 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: just go on. Nothing to sign up for If they're 292 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: over thirteen, you got to make sure they can go 293 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: through to They don't have to have their own TSA 294 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: pre check number, but rodes. They do have to have 295 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: the TSA PreCheck on their ticket, and the reason it 296 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: gets on their ticket is because you book them under 297 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,199 Speaker 1: your same reservation. Correct there it is, so this is 298 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: kind of a cool thing. We've blazed through with Sabine 299 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 1: several times in TSA PreCheck. 300 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 4: Absolutely, and then you can also go on through your 301 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 4: individual airline and sign up for TSA PreCheck touchless ID, 302 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 4: which in some airports is a separate line, which is 303 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 4: even faster because you don't even have to take the 304 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 4: time to show that TSA agent your boarding pass or 305 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 4: your passport or your real ID. You just get scanned 306 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,679 Speaker 4: basically by this camera and walk right on through. So 307 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 4: that line usually is even faster, and you have to 308 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 4: go into your individual airline correct to enable it to 309 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 4: say yes, I agree to have touchless ID. 310 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 2: That is very key everybody. 311 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: If you want to use the touchless ID, what you 312 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: just said, Robes, you do have to make an extra 313 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: effort at your airlines app or website to click and 314 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 1: you have to toggle sign me up, I'd like to 315 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: be a part of touchless ID. They have it at 316 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 1: about sixty airports, so not everywhere, and not every airline 317 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: has it, United, Southwest, Delta, American, and Alaska the big 318 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: ones for the most part, they do have it. But 319 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 1: rob this was something that almost came as a surprise 320 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: to us. We were in an airpoint once and they say, 321 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: oh you got touchless IDs. Okay, and you really You 322 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: walk up, A guy says stand here, he takes your picture. 323 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 2: You walk through. It can take ten seconds. 324 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it's even faster than the TSA pre check line. 325 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 4: And then beyond that you've got clear which you can 326 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 4: some air air ports Atlanta has this for sure, the 327 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 4: Clear plus TSA PreCheck, so it's almost like the extra 328 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 4: extra lane where you have to pay I believe about 329 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 4: two hundred and nine dollars a year, but you actually 330 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 4: have already put fingerprints through the system and you can go. 331 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 4: An agent actually walks you through up past everyone else 332 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 4: with TSA pre check, and you either have your eyes 333 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 4: scanned or your finger You just put a fingerprint in 334 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,880 Speaker 4: their machine and it is smooth sailing. 335 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:31,040 Speaker 1: It is pricey. It is two hundred and nine bucks robe. 336 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: This is a different type of it's a different thing 337 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: from TSA pre check. This is the thing essentially, I 338 00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: guess before the security line. This is supposed to be 339 00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: so quick about just like what you say, a finger 340 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: or an eyes and they gives you right through a 341 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: separate lane, a separate total situation. But I hear people 342 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: swear by it, and now I hear some people roll 343 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 1: their eyes and are annoyed by it. 344 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 2: So feast or famine. 345 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 4: It depends on which airport you're in and how smoothly 346 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 4: is running. And look, you can have a clear line, 347 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 4: and then you can have a clear TSA pre check line. 348 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 4: There are so many specific avenues. The point is, if 349 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,040 Speaker 4: you can afford to have all of these different options. 350 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 4: You can look which line touch this ID, TSA pre check, 351 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 4: clear clear, TSA PreCheck. Some of the big airports have 352 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 4: all of those separate lines, which does make things move 353 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 4: much quicker. 354 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: We should give a heads up sometimes as well. There 355 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: isn't a dedicated clear line, but there's a dedicated TSA 356 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: pre check line, and they'll take the clear people after 357 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: they get their scan and move them ahead of the 358 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: TSA pre check people, which will piss you off. Yes, then, 359 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: and that callses a whole new type of mess, But 360 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: that happens at airports. We just want to make sure 361 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: we give your heads up that y'all don't write in 362 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: next week. So there two j y'all told us no, 363 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 1: that's just a heads up there. But stay here, folks. 364 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 1: Those are some of the options and things you can 365 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:50,440 Speaker 1: do now. But Romes and I have millions of airline miles. 366 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: We have been flying every week for damn near thirty 367 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: years and sometimes several times a week. We too have 368 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: tricks that help us get through that airport faster. 369 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 2: We'll share them with you. 370 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 1: Stay here, all right, We continue here on this Saturday, 371 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: fun travel day for uh no, it's not a fun 372 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: travel day. Travel you know what, at the best of times, 373 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: travel can be stressful as hell, but we have found 374 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: a way at least we have to enjoy it. And 375 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,159 Speaker 1: if you have to, I will start their rows. We 376 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: talk about tricks. We're going to give some of our 377 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: things that work for us. But part of it yes 378 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: getting up and getting out of the door early and 379 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: not being stressed, but also being ready for an experience, 380 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: an adventure and embrace that, hey, this is going to 381 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: be a good time. And we always some of our 382 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: favorite things to do is to go to an airport. 383 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say it's part of why we bonded 384 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,119 Speaker 4: so much, even through work, because oftentimes we would have 385 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 4: to travel together and it is a pain, and we 386 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 4: weren't traveling for pleasure necessarily. 387 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 3: It was for work. 388 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,520 Speaker 4: But what you do is you get in the right mindset. 389 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 4: When we get up in the morning, what do we do. 390 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 4: We blast music, We make it a party. We just 391 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 4: decide we're gonna have fun and laugh through all the 392 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 4: misery regardless. And some of the fun is people watching too, 393 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,640 Speaker 4: because people are mostly miserable at the airport, which it 394 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 4: is kind of a way to look at it where 395 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,479 Speaker 4: you're just enjoying all the chaos, taking it in and 396 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 4: having some fun with it. We enjoy the process, even 397 00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,040 Speaker 4: the pain, because we end up finding. 398 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 3: A way to have fun with it. 399 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 4: We make games out of it, we people watch, We 400 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 4: just say it's gonna be It kind of is the 401 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 4: same mindset for me, honestly, Babe, as running a half 402 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 4: marathon or a marathon. I get in my head this 403 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,600 Speaker 4: is gonna take a couple hours, but I am going 404 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 4: to have fun along the way, even if it's painful 405 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 4: in moments. 406 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 1: So that really does help get in your mind right 407 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: when you head to the airport. The other thing, at 408 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 1: least trick tip for us is the timing getting there 409 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: and timing it out early. It drives me crazy. World 410 00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 1: I see other people. You know, this is why I 411 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,119 Speaker 1: don't like to travel people, because I like to get 412 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: to the airport at a certain time, and everybody's trying 413 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: to cut it closed. 414 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 2: So why do we have to leave so early? This 415 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 2: kind of a thing. It will save you. 416 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: You travel enough, you will learn that Roblout had flat tires. 417 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 1: I've accidentally gone to the wrong airport before for a flight. 418 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 1: We all have, and I was so early in my 419 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,320 Speaker 1: planning I had time to get to that airport, get 420 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: in another car, go to the correct airport and still 421 00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: make my flight. Folks, we beg you you gotta go. 422 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 3: Early if you look at it. 423 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 4: Look, I know airport food is expensive, there's no question 424 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 4: about it. But if you just say, okay, this is 425 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 4: the price of my of my travel, I'm gonna sit somewhere. 426 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 4: If you if you like to have a mimosa, say 427 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 4: I'm gonna have a mimosa, and just give yourself enough 428 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 4: time to have a full meal by the gate. That way, 429 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,080 Speaker 4: if anything goes wrong, if you miss your meal, at 430 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 4: least you don't miss your flight. You know you've got 431 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 4: to You've got a plan. So because even my daughter's like, 432 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 4: what am I going to do with all that extra time? 433 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:57,080 Speaker 3: Relax? 434 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 4: Sit down either like have a movie that you've downloaded 435 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 4: that you're watching, read a book, like have a mimosa, 436 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 4: like we like to do. But just decide ahead of 437 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,200 Speaker 4: time that it's going to be an event. It's going 438 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 4: to be an experience. Get there really early, and if 439 00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 4: you can find like we actually love airports. I get 440 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 4: excited about going to an airport and so I don't 441 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 4: mind getting there early because it's an adventure and if 442 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,400 Speaker 4: you can get in that headspace, it makes you want 443 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 4: to leave early, which eliminates ninety nine percent of the problems. 444 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: We would also suggest this is something we do well 445 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: and it's hard to quantify right just how much this helps, 446 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: but packing appropriately accordingly will absolutely save you some time 447 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 1: going through the airport. Yes, that's security even, but it's 448 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: if you got junk and it's everywhere and you're having 449 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: to pull stuff out, and if everybody else is having 450 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,800 Speaker 1: to do that or packing, if you can get that 451 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: down and nail that and what goes where, and I 452 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: need access to this thing, so it goes in that 453 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: pocket even when you get up to the belt to 454 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: put your off on ropes, to know what's in what 455 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: pocket and just be able to drop it in the 456 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: bin and keep going. 457 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 2: It's worth it to put a little struggle like that on. 458 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 4: Yes, to download those airline apps, don't. I mean, we 459 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 4: don't check luggage unless it's just absolutely it's got to 460 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 4: be a huge, huge threshold for us to check luggage. 461 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,399 Speaker 4: We just carry on and if I need something, I 462 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 4: can buy it when I get there. 463 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 1: No, that's a very you know you that wasn't a 464 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: tip I was going to name, but that's a good one. 465 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: If you pack accordingly and you're not having to check 466 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: a bag so much time, you're saving yourself another line 467 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: you don't have to get into. That's a very good point, 468 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: and some of them those lines are chaotic as hell. 469 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: The other main tip for me, and that I've gotten 470 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: you kind of on board with this, first thing smoking 471 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: is the line I always use. What flights you want 472 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 1: to take first thing smoking? 473 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 2: Every day? 474 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: What time is that one leave? Five forty five? I'll 475 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: take it five forty five. I'll take it first thing 476 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: smoking because that robes and they have all the research, 477 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: lowers greatly your probability of a delay or cancelation. 478 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 3: I hear you. 479 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 2: I have come on, y'all, hear a voice. 480 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:07,640 Speaker 3: It's easier than. 481 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 2: You know what. 482 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 4: I agree, Especially going I like to get where I'm 483 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 4: going coming back. I like to take a little bit 484 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 4: of a later flight, just because sometimes it's fun to 485 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 4: slay on the beach a little bit longer and I'm 486 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 4: not in as much of a rush to get home. 487 00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 3: So yes, but I do agree first. 488 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 4: Flight out when you're headed out for your vacation or 489 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:25,800 Speaker 4: for your big plans. 490 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 3: It saves you a whole lot of headache. 491 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 2: It does. 492 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: And the last thing, and not everybody can do it. 493 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 1: If you don't have tsa pre check, if you don't 494 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 1: have clear it does. It sometimes makes a difference. There's 495 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: a designated business class or first class line. Look, not 496 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: everybody can do that. Sometimes it makes sense, but that does, 497 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 1: and it can save you some time robes. 498 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 2: If you don't want to pay an. 499 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 1: Eighty dollars fee or two hundred and nine dollars and 500 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: just want to do it as a one off on 501 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: this one to get through the airport a little better. 502 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: They do have designated lines.
