I flew Delta on Tuesday before Thanksgiving and fully expected to have lines and lines. I didn't check a bag and checked in online beforehand. When I walked into the McNamara I was able to walk right up to the security lines with only one or two people in front of me. It was an extremely good flight and the plane was almost brand new! Much roomier than in the past and clean as a whistle.
