@outbound_visa: Travelers at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) faced security waits of up to 153 minutes on March 23, with reports of lines wrapping around baggage claim during the spring-break rush. Multiple outlets say the biggest driver is a TSA staffing shortage during the ongoing partial DHS shutdown, and Atlanta airport has been telling passengers to arrive up to 4 hours early. What to do: - If you’re flying out of ATL, get there much earlier than usual especially for morning flights. - Check live wait times before leaving, but be careful: some reports say wait-time tools have been unreliable during the shutdown. - Use your airline app to rebook fast if you think you may miss your flight. Long TSA lines have been hitting other major airports too, not just Atlanta. Save + share this with someone who needs it.
