Leave room for the rest
Security is only part of your airport journey. Allow time for check-in, bag drop and getting to your gate. Follow your airline’s arrival and boarding guidance.
Check your terminal
Queues can vary between checkpoints and change before you arrive. These readings are a snapshot, not a guarantee of your own wait.
Arrive ready
Check the TSA’s current guidance for identification and carry-on items before packing.
