Airport security wait time planner - Help
How wait times are calculated
- A snapshot of live wait times is taken from airport sources
- An average of the wait times observed within each 15 minute interval is saved, every day
- This historical data is shaped into wait time distributions, to help you plan security wait time for your flight
- The site will improve over time as more historical data is collected; most airports do not share live security wait times, unfortuantely, so the list of supported airports is limited
Assuming all weekdays (or weekend days) are similar
- Checking this box means data for all weekdays (or weekend days) are combined when showing wait times.
- For example, if you select Tuesday at 3:15pm, all 3:15pm data for Mondays through Fridays will be included.
- This is selected by default for now, as we don't have much daily data yet; in a few months we will have enough data to turn this OFF by default.
- In the meantime, I recommend checking waiting times with and witout this box checked, as Tuesdays might look very different than Fridays, for example.
