DFW Airport traffic (121/183), wait times?

[hotrod66stang]

I'm leaving for Cozumel in the morning and I know the roads are all jacked up into and around the airport. I know a lot of you live up there, what are y'alls commutes like? I'm leaving from N. FW/Keller area and my flight departs at 10:15am. Here are my options:

820---->121/183
377---->1709---->114---->121

Anything else sound better?

Now for the security part. I've only flown twice, and both times were "non-peak" hours. This will be an early flight, on a Monday morning, at an international airport. I drive on almost all of my vacations, so this Monday morning logic may be completely wrong. I've heard to be 2 hours early, so I'm thinking about leaving the casa at 6am. Is that too early, not early enough, about right?

Thank you travel gurus.

On a Monday morning, I would want to be through security as early as possible. If you leave at six, either route will put you at the airport just before seven factoring in regular traffic. The earlier you get there, the less rushed you'll feel and once you're through security you can relax, grab some coffee, food, a good seat in the terminal and people watch. The airport is the best place to people watch.

If you are parking out at the remotes, the buses run 15min apart roughly. Give yourself time to not rush - From your area i'd leave at 6. You'll likely have time to deal with morning rush hour, park and ride, then go through baggage check and security. If you have to wait a couple hours before your flight, just count it as starting your vacation as stress free as possible and relax.

Highway 10.

This. Take it as far as you can. 183 from 820 to the 121 split in Bedford will be a parking lot. And leaving at 6 is still a good plan. Never hurts to be early.
Oh, and make sure your private areas are nice and clean.

Sounds good. Now that y'all mention it, I seem to recall us coming back that way last year when we landed during rush hour.

Scott, I don't have the same problem that the guy in San Francisco does.

I am around boat club road. No matter the timeit is, I leave 3 hours before my flight. That gives me plenty of time to park in express south, check in, clear security and have a bloody mary at TGIF. Their new jalapeño burger with the beer cheese does not suck either. Flying out to Vegas tm for a few days in fact. Flight at 12:30 I will leave at 9:30 and have zero stress if I hit traffic.

**edit that is 820-183 to the south entrance.
