PeterRS Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Where else but in the USA would anyone consider queuing for hundreds of meters underground before getting up to second level and another few hundred meters queue. Then another level. By the time this level is reached there is a notice saying approximate waiting time will be a further 250 minutes. Madness! https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/23/us/video/houston-airport-security-checkpoint-lines-vrtc-digvid Quote

I was in La Guardia 10 days ago, and zipped through in the American terminal, though I was in priority lane. Came back from Nashville, no priority line, but no queue. Trying my luck with SF and Chicago soon! floridarob and jimmie50 2 Quote
Members unicorn Posted Saturday at 07:27 AM Members Posted Saturday at 07:27 AM My worst queueing experience was going through immigration for non-EU/EEA citizens at Lisbon Airport. Good thing I arrived at the airport 2.5 hours before departure. The line was over 1 km long and took almost 2 hours. Barely had time to reach my gate (no special line for business class, either).

Reports say that Lisbon was one of the worst in Europe, up to 5 hours. They brought in the army to help, at one point! The new European system was/is chaotic. Quote
