Use the directory correctly

Source first, then checkpoint.

01 / STATUS

Check live versus estimated

A live label means a recent airport-controlled reading is available. An estimated label means the source is unavailable or stale, so the number is planning context rather than a measured line.

02 / ROUTE

Open the airport page

Airport averages are only a starting point. Use the airport page to match your terminal, gate group, checkpoint, and screening lane before deciding which reading applies to your trip.

03 / TIME

Turn the wait into a plan

After checking the source and checkpoint, use the leave-time calculator to add travel, bag-drop, walking, and boarding buffers.
