How to Skip Long TSA Lines for Free—Without TSA PreCheck
Last Sunday, more than 1,000 passengers missed flights at Ireland’s Dublin Airport because of epic security lines caused by staffing shortages.
But there’s another option, at least for travelers flying out of airports in cities including Newark, New Jersey; Los Angeles; Dallas-Fort Worth; Seattle; Orlando, Florida; Phoenix; and Charleston, South Carolina.
With a service called Whyline, which was recently bought by CLEAR, travelers make a reservation online or using a mobile app and then simply show up at the appointed time, look for the marker indicating the Whyline queue, and go right up to a security agent (or wait a minute or two at most) to present a QR code sent via the app.
In Seattle, for instance, travelers can make a reservation up to four days before a flight. Enter your flight info at the SEA Spot Saver website and you’ll get back a list of appropriate times to go through security, each 15 minutes apart. Travelers get a 15-minute grace period to make the appointment.
