Very much depends on the airport. Before I was an experienced traveler, I used to show up at O’Hare in Chicago 3 hours early because who knows how long the security lines will be. It was overkill, but gave me piece of mind.
At some point I took a job that required significant travel, and I learned to cut things much closer. Usually not less than 45 mins. But if I’m flying internationally I’ll still show up at least 2 hours early.
I too mostly fly out of O'Hare. Once I got global entry, I was a reliable 45-60 minutes before wheels up guy. I have never had Precheck take longer than 15 minutes.
I'm also an O'Hare flyer and the biggest time vampire you face there isn't long security lines, it's the four-mile walk to your gate lol
Seems like a United issue. I have been flying American and others lately, and it feels like very manageable hoofing.
Nothing compares of course to traffic on 90/355/190.
