Stuck in a long TSA line? Here are some strategies if you need to rebook your flight - NPR
Overview
Severe TSA checkpoint lines are causing many travelers to miss flights, and a new guide lays out practical steps for rebooking when security delays force you to miss a departure. It recommends contacting airlines promptly, using airline apps and desk agents, asking about waived change fees or standby options, and knowing that carriers may assist but are not legally required to rebook passengers for free. The surge in missed flights is tied to unusually long wait times driven by staffing shortfalls and unpaid screeners, and limited measures like TSA PreCheck Touchless ID can help some travelers but do not solve the systemic funding and staffing problems.
