What are TSA wait times at JFK, LGA? What to know Monday

Long wait lines at terminal security are starting to ease in New York City after a partial government shutdown left TSA employees without paychecks for weeks, leading to mass call-outs and resignations.

TSA workers began to receive backpay last week after President Donald Trump signed an order directing the Department of Homeland Security to use available federal funds to pay employees.

Airports across the country are still feeling the shockwaves, with some urging passengers that it is no longer necessary to arrive multiple hours before their flights as wait times fluctuate.

Here is what to know before arriving to LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy Airport Monday.

TSA Wait Times at LaGuardia Airport

As of Monday, April 6 at 11 a.m., LaGuardia Airport (LGA) reported less than 10 minute waits for all terminals, according to its website.

Terminal A reported a nine-minute wait in its general line, and a four-minute wait for TSA PreCheck.

Terminal B reported no wait for its general line, and a one-minute wait for TSA PreCheck.

Terminal C had a two-minute wait time, with a one-minute wait for TSA PreCheck.

"As TSA staffing begins to stabilize, wait times are still subject to fluctuations. Staff are monitoring lines that extend beyond the security checkpoint entrance and updating wait times regularly," a banner on LaGuardia's website said.

"Please allow extra time."

TSA Wait Times at John F. Kennedy Airport

JFK Airport had all of its security checkpoint wait times under 30 minutes as of Monday, April 6 at 11 a.m., according to its website.

Terminal 1 had an 11-minute wait for its general line and seven-minute wait for its TSA PreCheck line.

Terminal 4 had an eight-minute line for general passengers and one-minute line for TSA PreCheck fliers.

For Terminal 5, passengers had a 23-minute wait in the general line and six-minute wait for TSA PreCheck.

Terminal 7 had a 12 minute line for general passengers and no line for TSA PreCheck, while Terminal 8 had a nine-minute general line and three-minute PreCheck time.

"We typically advise passengers arrive two hours before a domestic flight and three hours before an international flight, but additional time may still be warranted," the Port Authority said in an email to USA TODAY last week.

"Travelers are strongly encouraged to check with their airline and the wait times listed on our airport websites before heading to the airport."
