Long TSA Lines has for many years, been a major problem at the airport. And for many people, they have missed their flight due to long security lines at the airport. Most airlines mandate air travelers to arrive at the airport at least two hours (for domestic flight) and three hours (for international flights) before departure time so you can get past security easily.
To avoid starting your travel day on the wrong note, sign up for TSA PreCheck or Global Entry. TSA PreCheck is a program that allows its members to skip the long TSA lines at the airport. However, this program is for domestic travel only. Global Entry works in the same way as TSA PreCheck, but the program is designed for international travelers only.
Certified member of these programs can travel with ease and dodge the slow-moving lines at the airport.

Thankfully, there are many ways to escape long lines while traveling abroad. With proper planning and preparation, you can avoid the rush. Here’s how to cut down on wait times at the airport.
Minimize Your Wait From the Get-go
Waiting long lines at the airport can be annoying. Not only that, if you run out of luck, you might miss your flight resulting in additional cost to reschedule your flight.
One sure-fire way to avoid the rush at the airport is getting there several hours before departure. If you’re traveling overseas, make sure you’re at the airport at least 3 hours before your flight is scheduled for takeoff. This will give you enough time to pass through the security checks without fear that you’re running out of time.

So if you’re keen on catching that flight to your destination, arrive at the airport several hours before departure. This affords you the chance to pass through the long lines fast and without any hassles. If you still have time to spare you can keep yourself engaged by explore the airport amenities, shop for souvenirs, or enjoy delicious local dishes.

- Remember to pack appropriately
- Leave out banned items and be sure to do your research on items that you can fly with

Not only are they keeping other travelers waiting but it also makes the screening process cumbersome. Be sure to prepare for screening several minutes ahead of time for your flight. Preparing for screening will expedite the process and reduce wait time.
