Introducing Tarmac — Live TSA Wait Times, Crowdsourced

Tarmac is our newest live product. It solves one of the most annoying parts of air travel: not knowing how long the security line is before you leave for the airport.

Tarmac is our newest live product. It solves one of the most annoying parts of air travel: not knowing how long the security line is before you leave for the airport.

The idea is simple. Travelers report live TSA security wait times at airports across the US as they move through the checkpoint. Those reports are timestamped and surfaced to other travelers who are still planning their trip.

The result is a real-time, community-powered picture of what's happening at any given airport. The more people who report, the more useful it becomes for everyone. It's the kind of product that gets better the more it's used.

Tarmac is free to use, requires no account, and works on any device. We built it because we wanted it ourselves — and it turns out a lot of other travelers did too. Give it a try at tarmac.live.
