What is the busiest time at DHN security?
Monday around 5 pm, when 0 departures' worth of passengers are converging on the checkpoint at once. The calmest hour with real traffic is Monday at 6 pm, at roughly 4 minutes.
Is TSA PreCheck worth it at DHN?
At the Monday peak it turns a 5 to 15 minute queue into something closer to 3 minutes. Over a five year membership that is worth it if you fly more than about three round trips a year through an airport this busy. The trusted traveler calculator prices it against your own flying.
When does security open at DHN?
