Philadelphia Airport TSA Wait Times and Security Checkpoint Status Update Temporary security checkpoint closures at Philadelphia International Airport continue as part of a partial government shutdown. The closures, which began on March 18, have redirected travelers from three checkpoints to help optimize operations at other locations. Travelers are advised to check the latest updates before heading to the airport. As of Tuesday morning, the wait times for security checkpoints at Philadelphia International Airport are as follows: Terminal A-East has a standard security wait of 3 minutes and a TSA PreCheck wait of 2 minutes. Terminal B has a standard security wait of 4 minutes. Terminal D/E has a standard security wait of 7 minutes and a TSA PreCheck wait of 2 minutes. Live updates for checkpoint wait times are available on the airport’s checkpoint hours page. The TSA security checkpoints at Terminals A-West, C, and F remain closed as of March 24. Despite these closures, all terminals remain open and accessible to passengers. Travelers can still reach closed terminals by passing through active security checkpoints before proceeding to their gates. TSA PreCheck is available at Terminals A-East and D/E. The operating hours for open checkpoints and PreCheck services are: Terminal A-East Standard Security runs from 4:15 a.m. to 10:15 p.m., while TSA PreCheck at the same terminal is open until 6:30 p.m. Terminal B Standard Security operates from 3:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Terminal D/E Standard Security is open from 3 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., and TSA PreCheck at D/E is available until 8 p.m. Due to the ongoing checkpoint closures, the airport recommends travelers arrive 2.5 hours before domestic flights and 3.5 hours before international flights to account for potential delays.#tsa #philadelphia_international_airport #terminal_d_e #philadelphia_airport #terminal_a_east
