Airport Rush. Spring Break Surge: Long Lines at Austin-Bergstrom Airport

Oh. It's March 16th, 2025, 10 12:35 p.m. Uh, the line, uh, for general screening is, uh, really long. Because of the uh South by Southwest, and so there's at least a 30 minute waiting time. And it's uh busy for the uh pre-screened and the regular screening. It's very busy. For, uh, both. It's, it's busiest airport I've, I've seen. Is it like that. This is the video of the clear line that you want to go in and there's only a few people in mind right now at a clear line. Uh, March 16, 2025. This is the clear line which should wait, and as you can see, there's only 3 people in the clear line right now. So there's not a wait, there's just a normal, uh, wait 15 minutes that it would generally take for the clear line. Today is Sunday, March 16, 2025, and the Austin airport is very busy. Uh, it's the last day of South by Southwest, and so many, many people are flying out today. The TSA line is not, uh, normally, uh, as busy as it normally is. It's about a 20 minute wait for the TSA line and also, uh, for the pre-check, it's about 1015 minutes. There wasn't anybody in line at the precheck here on March 16, 2025. This right here is a clear line. As you can see, there's nobody in it. It's it's normal waiting time that it would normally be despite the airport being very busy on March 16, 2025. Today is March 16, 2025, and the Austin Bergstrom Airport is very busy.
