Where the data comes from.

📡

Airport Published

Official airport pages, widgets, and feeds are used when they are public, stable, and appropriate for the app.

🛡️

Historical Model

When no stable airport source is available, the app uses a deterministic planning model based on airport profile, day, and time.

✈️

Local Traveler History

Your saved history and actual-wait logs stay on your device and help you compare estimates against your own experience.

👥

Transparent Fallbacks

If an airport feed changes or fails, the app falls back to a source-labeled historical estimate instead of showing a blank result.

All times are planning estimates unless clearly marked as airport-published. Always verify with TSA, MyTSA, your airline, or the airport before travel.

Common Questions

Everything About
TSA Wait Times

How accurate are TSA wait time estimates?

The app clearly labels each wait estimate by source. Some airports use official airport-published feeds; others use a deterministic historical planning model. Unexpected security incidents, staffing changes, airline banks, weather, and airport operations can change actual waits quickly, so always allow extra time.

What do the color codes mean?

Green (Short): 0-10 minutes — plan to arrive 90 minutes before domestic flights. Yellow (Moderate): 11-20 minutes — arrive 2 hours early. Orange (Long): 21-35 minutes — arrive 2.5 hours early. Red (Very Long): 36+ minutes — arrive 3+ hours early for stress-free travel.

Does the app show TSA PreCheck wait times?

Yes. The app shows Standard and TSA PreCheck estimates side by side. When an official airport source publishes separate PreCheck rows, the app uses them; otherwise PreCheck is shown as a labeled planning estimate.

Which airports are covered?

The app covers major and regional US airports. Airport-published providers are currently integrated for ATL, BOS, BWI, CHS, CLE, CLT, CMH, CVG, DCA, DFW, DTW, ELP, EWR, GSP, HOU, IAH, JAX, JFK, LAS, LEX, LGA, MCO, MIA, MSP, ORD, PDX, PHL, PHX, PIT, PSP, SEA, SFO, SLC, and TUL, with other airports using source-labeled planning estimates.

What happens if an airport feed changes or fails?

If an airport-published feed changes or cannot be parsed, the app falls back to the historical model and labels the result accordingly. Optional anonymous provider-health diagnostics may report the source failure so it can be fixed.

Does the app use AI to generate wait times?

No. Version 2.0 removed client-side AI API calls. Wait values come from integrated airport-published sources where available or from a deterministic historical planning model.

What are peak hours at airports?

Peak hours vary by airport. Generally, security lines are longest 5-7 AM (early morning business flights), 11 AM-1 PM (midday departures), and 4-6 PM (evening rush). The app provides airport-specific peak hour guidance so you know exactly when your departure airport is busiest and can time your arrival to avoid the worst crowds.
