Compare typical waits across airports

Typical day · rolling 30-day average

Compare a typical day across the network

Each line is one airport's average standard-lane wait by hour of local day, built from the last 30 days of readings. This is a historical pattern for planning — not a live reading. Use the hour selector or hover the chart to compare recorded waits. Gaps mean observations are unavailable.

Loading the 30-day network comparison…

Standard lanes only. Times shown in each airport's local time zone. Airports without enough recent history are omitted.

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.
