Houston Airport System officials said in a news release Friday that they would no longer issue daily advisories with expected TSA wait times as airlines expand their communication

Travelers at IAH and Hobby Airport should expect long security lines due to TSA staffing shortages. Arriving early and being prepared can help you breeze through security and stay on schedule.

After hours-long wait times at Houston airports yesterday, here's what we noticed today and what the airport expects tomorrow.

Wait times at Bush Airport's Terminal A and E were expected to exceed 60 to 75 minutes on Thursday, according to Houston Airport System officials.

In an advisory issued on Nov. 2, Houston Airports warned travelers to expect extended TSA wait times “until further notice.”

The potential delay comes just two days after Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport issued a ground stop Tuesday afternoon for the same reason. That ground stop lasted until 6 p.m., while a ground delay continued until 9 p.m., according to Houston Airports.

Passengers were still encouraged to arrive early, despite the shorter lines at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

TSA workers were told sick calls will bring “appropriate accountability measures to the fullest extent possible” after the shutdown ends—but airport screeners told Forbes such threats would likely backfire.

As the longest government shutdown in U.S. history stretches on, travelers are seeing the impacts at airports in multiple ways. Here's how to check TSA wait times and flight status.

With TSA staffing shortages and potential flight delays, travelers at Houston airports could face longer security lines. Programs like TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, and CLEAR can help you move through faster.
