About PBI Security Wait Times

The security wait times at Palm Beach Airport are calculated using a combination of historical flight traffic data and TSA staffing schedules. We strive to offer a reasonably accurate prediction of wait times at PBI by leveraging advanced data analytics. However, it's important to understand that these estimates can fluctuate due to unexpected circumstances. The TSA encourages passengers to arrive at the airport well in advance of their flight's scheduled departure time.

While we aim to provide accurate security checkpoint wait times to assist in your travel planning, it's equally crucial to check with your airline concerning wait times at the ticket counter and any potential changes to your flight schedules. These factors should also be taken into account when deciding your arrival time at PBI. Remember, each airline has its own recommended and mandatory arrival times.
