The My TSA app<\/a> might be your best friend come holiday travel season.<\/p>\n

One of the busiest times for travel is rapidly approaching and airports are sure to be crowded, especially at North Texas airports. DFW International Airport<\/a> is the central hub of Fort Worth-based American Airlines<\/a> and Love Field<\/a> is the headquarters of Southwest Airlines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Further complicating matters is the ongoing government shutdown, which has caused operations delays at several major U.S. airports, impacting security wait times and snarling flights<\/a>. <\/p>\n

DFW Airport and Dallas Love Field were mostly unaffected at the beginning of the shutdown, but have seen impacts in recent days. The Federal Aviation Administration issued ground delays at DFW Airport on three separate days<\/a> last week. On Monday, the FAA again issued a ground delay for both DFW and Love Field<\/a>, slowing flights bound for North Texas at their departure airports. <\/p>\n

If the shutdown persists and a situation of \u201cmass chaos\u201d comes to fruition, which U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy predicts<\/a>, it\u2019ll be key for travelers to be prepared for the effects. <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can take advantage of the TSA app to be prepared when you fly. <\/p>\n

Where can you download the My TSA app?<\/p>\n

You can download the My TSA app<\/a> on both major app stores, no matter if you have an android or Apple device.<\/p>\n

How do you see your airport\u2019s wait times?<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve downloaded the app, open it and you\u2019ll be taken to your dashboard. On the dashboard, you\u2019ll see a tab for \u201cfavorite airports.\u201d You can add an airport to your favorites by searching for it under that tab. <\/p>\n

How will you know the wait time at North Texas airports?<\/p>\n

Once you add DFW Airport or Love Field to your favorites, it will constantly display a TSA wait time at both airports every time the app is opened. For example, as of 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday, the wait time at DFW is between 15 to 30 minutes and at Love Field it\u2019s between zero and 15 minutes. <\/p>\n

The app will also tell you whether there are any delays issued by the FAA and whether TSA PreCheck security lanes are open at the airports. <\/p>\n

Other tips for travelers <\/p>\n

Both DFW and Love Field are encouraging travelers to arrive earlier to the airport due to ongoing construction. Love Field travelers should plan to arrive at least two hours prior to their flight<\/a> during roadway closures. DFW is encouraging travelers<\/a> to arrive at least two hours before domestic flights and at least three hours before international flights in order to navigate construction. <\/p>\n

DFW passengers can also check wait times on the airport\u2019s website<\/a>. Another useful resource for travelers is the airline app for the carrier you\u2019re traveling with, as that can provide real-time updates regarding flights and any impacts.<\/p>\n
