We then wait in line to get &quot;screened.&quot; After stressing over what is okay and how to lay it all out for the screeners, we made it through and had about an hour and a half wait until departure.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.craigmashburn.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/img-1880.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px\" title=\"IMG_1880\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_1880\" src=\"https:\/\/www.craigmashburn.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/img-1880-thumb.jpg\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>We have a direct flight to San Francisco on Frontier airlines.<\/p>\n<p>We had a two and a half hour flight, but it only took 1.5 hours because of the time change.
