Real-time crowdsourced TSA security wait times at 70+ airports across all 50 states. AI-powered predictions. Custom alerts. Completely free.
⚠️ March 2026: TSA staffing shortages are causing wait times of 2–3 hours at major hubs including ATL, ORD, JFK, and LAX. Plan ahead — arrive at least 2.5 hours early for domestic flights and 3 hours for international.
Three steps to knowing your wait time before you leave home.
Open the app and tap the Airports tab. Search by airport code (OKC, ATL, LAX) or city name. Tap your airport to see full details.
See wait times broken down by terminal and lane type — Standard, TSA PreCheck, CLEAR + PreCheck, and Expedited. Find the fastest option for your situation.
Already at the airport? Tap Report and submit your actual wait time. Every report makes the app more accurate for the next traveler — it takes 30 seconds.
Sign up for free and set a custom alert for your home airport. Get notified the moment wait times exceed your limit — before you leave the house.
Built for real travelers who need real information — not outdated estimates.
Not just airport-wide averages. See exactly which terminal and which lane is moving fastest right now.
Our AI analyzes current reports, time of day, and historical patterns to forecast wait times for the next 1–2 hours.

Over 60 minutesReports from real travelers are what make this app accurate. If you are at an airport right now, please take 30 seconds to submit your wait time. Here is exactly how:
Look at the bottom navigation bar and tap the ➕ icon labeled "Report." This opens the submission form.
If you are still in line — tap START TIMER when you join the queue. Tap STOP when you clear security. Your wait time fills in automatically. Or simply type the number of minutes you waited.
Choose your airport from the dropdown. Then select the terminal you went through — e.g. Terminal A, Terminal B, or Main. This is printed on your boarding pass.
Choose which lane you used: Standard (regular security), TSA PreCheck (expedited, no shoes off), CLEAR + PreCheck, or Expedited. This helps other travelers pick the fastest lane for their situation.
Hit the blue Submit button. Your report appears instantly in the Live Feed and updates the airport's average wait time for everyone. No account required to submit.

Accuracy improves as more travelers submit reports. Each report is weighted by recency — a 5-minute-old report carries more weight than a 55-minute-old one. Reports older than 60 minutes are automatically de-weighted.
That airport has no recent reports yet. You can be the first — submit your wait time and it will show immediately. The more travelers who report at that airport, the more accurate it becomes.
Standard is the regular security line for all travelers. TSA PreCheck is expedited screening — no shoes, laptops, or liquids removal ($78 enrollment, 5 years). CLEAR + PreCheck uses biometrics to skip to the front of PreCheck. Expedited varies by airport.
Create a free account, tap the Alerts tab, select your airport, set your threshold in minutes, and tap Add Alert. You will receive a push notification when the average wait exceeds your limit.
