United Airlines has rolled out a new app feature aimed at reducing one of the most frustrating parts of air travel: long security lines.
The tool pulls real-time data from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and displays expected wait times directly within the United app, helping travelers better plan when to arrive at the airport. According to United, the feature is designed to give customers greater visibility into airport conditions and reduce uncertainty during the travel experience.
These days, security lines are one of the biggest variables in the airport journey. Sometimes you breeze through in five minutes. Other times, even with TSA PreCheck, you are stuck in a slow-moving queue that can add significant stress before a flight…hopefully that problem will shortly be resolved by fully funding the Department of Homeland Security.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
