You may want to plan to arrive at the St. Louis airport at least 2 hours before your departure time.

Several years ago, we flew out of the St. Louis airport on the Sunday after Champs. We waited in line for over 2 hours to get through security. The line literally went out the door down the sidewalk the length of the terminal building and doubled back on itself. It got pretty tense since most people in line had flights all at about the same time and we were all wondering if we would make our flights. Once past security, the wait times at check-in were not unusual. I think we all ended up running to the gate.
