On Wednesday’s (April 1, 2026), United Airlines announced that their award-winning mobile app will now include estimated Transportation Security Administration (TSA) security wait times using data collected by the airline, a first-of-its-kind offering from a major U.S. carrier.   As part of a new pilot program, the feature provides regular wait time updates throughout the day, giving travelers timely information on airport security lines and helping them plan their travel with confidence.


In Wednesday’s announcement, United’s Chief Information Officer, Jason Birnbaum, said,


“We appreciate the work and professionalism of our TSA agents, and while most began receiving back pay earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security shutdown continues and people want to stay informed about expected security wait times at our airports.  Our customers rely on our mobile app for all their travel needs, and this new feature lets them know what to expect and better plan their trip.”


In the Travel section of the United app, customers can now view security wait times in Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York/Newark, San Francisco and Washington D.C. United will provide estimated wait times for specific lanes, including standard security and TSA PreCheck®, throughout terminals serving United customers, allowing them to choose the option that works best for them.  The new feature is rolling out today to United mobile app users traveling through all of the airline’s U.S. hub airports.


At United Airlines (NASDAQ: UAL), ‘Good Leads the Way.’  As measured by available seat miles, United is the world’s largest airline, connecting passengers to more than 360 destinations, including 75 that no other U.S. airline serves.  The carrier flies to over 225 U.S. cities, operating more than 4,000 domestic flights a day on average.  With U.S. hubs in Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York/Newark, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., United operates the most comprehensive global route network among North American carriers.
