Our flight leaves at 10pm. Is that a busy time for international flights?

Agree-- if you can get your boarding passes by preloading your passport it's just a question of how quickly you can check your bags and get through security, and status and pre-check help with those. I think 90-120 mins would be ok especially if you are not flying at peak (for Dulles) hours (which I think is mostly the late afternoon?)

For Global Entry, yes, green card holders can, and well as citizens of some countries.
For Precheck, only US residents and green card holders.

Thanks. My country is not on the list. We'll have to wait to get our green card.

Same question for an 8:30 a.m. Sunday morning international flight. We have TSA pre-check. Two adults and two teenagers. We’re planning on the normal two hours but would be thrilled to hear that we could shave it down to 90 minutes given the ungodly hour….

Same question but will it be crazy this week with spring break?

Just went thru last week. All of 10 minutes. This was for a 5:00 flight midweek.

Same here. It’s been quick and swift for us recently.

Adults plus kids flying this weekend mid-morning to Jamaica. We have all our docs in order and have uploaded them to the United app and been approved. We are checking bags. Planning on getting there the usual 2 hours early, but should I plan for more time?
