MCO can and does get very congested. Your one-off anecdotal experience is not representative, I promise you. That said, they are kind of addressing the congestion with that new terminal.

I realize data is somewhat open to interpretation... to me, seeing a ~30 min wait in the middle of April is a bad omen. I think we should also consider that most airports are probably not congested outside of certain "rush hours". So what does it mean to be congested? What's the benchmark we're aiming for?

What do you consider rush hour? The website I cited lets you choose a time.

Well myself personally, I fly enough that it makes sense to have TSA PreCheck and Clear. But I wanted to find more relevant data than my anecdote - ie a few people in the Clear line and skipping to the front of TSA.

I want to use this website to see what it thinks MCO was like when I was there last, because I suspect it will say it wasn't as congested as it was, but it doesn't seem to let me see historical data. How are you seeing historical data?
