Understanding when TSA lines are at their worst can help you plan your day. Here's a breakdown of peak times:
Weekday Mornings (5:00 AM – 9:00 AM): This is when business travelers dominate the terminals.
Friday Afternoons (3:00 PM – 7:00 PM): The weekend rush begins.
Sunday Midday (11:00 AM – 2:00 PM): Vacationers and returning travelers flood the airport.
During these hours, wait times can exceed 45 minutes at the main checkpoints, especially in the North Terminal where Delta passengers are concentrated.
The Best Times to Breeze Through Security
If you have flexibility in your travel schedule, consider flying during these off-peak hours:
Late evenings after 8:30 PM
Mid-morning on Tuesdays and Wednesdays
Saturday afternoons
During these windows, you may clear TSA in 10–15 minutes or less. But it’s still wise to monitor real-time atl tsa wait times so you’re never caught off guard.
