Can’t blame Swifties anymore! I have noticed a really big decline in TSA efficiency. They are moving sooooooooooo slow.

Absolutely ridiculous. Stood in security for an hour and half. Arrived 2 hours early, no checked bag and still nearly missed my flight. And the agents need to work on their attitude. I witnessed an older lady in line behind me who was on the same flight and about to miss it. She got chosen for a random security check and was scared and unsure what to do . The agent that was sent to frisk her literally walked in slow motion and could not have been ruder to her. I think I heard them call the agent Sam. I hope she has the day she deserves!

MSY has to be the slowest airport in the country! Bring back the old airport 😫

Slowest airport, worst moods. You can’t expect the shops inside to thrive if everyone is flustered and rushed to their flights. Not to mention, the attitude and harsh words to elderly get me every time too, they are just as nervous as anyone else doing something new. Patience and respect to everyone can go a longggg way.

3 hours before your 2 hour flight is absurd .. there is zero reason for it to take three hours to work your way through security at the biggest airport … its just a sign of poor management.

This is a constant issue at MSY, definitely the slowest airport PITFUL!

This is ridiculous. Every time I have flown since the new one, it was a “longer than normal” wait time. No matter what time! What is the problem?! This is one of the reasons went I went to Austin in April, my friends and I decided to drive. By the time you go early, fly and then arrive and get your luggage, you can just drive there.

Old airport was much faster. Isn’t the point of upgrading and modernizing, to move forward?

It’s definitely an employee issue.

This is why I am driving a little bit further away to fly out of Pensacola!

My flight is for 6:30 AM tomorrow. Did anyone fly out early this morning? What time did you get there and how long did you wait?

I am really surprised to read all of these comments. MSY is always very fast when I fly through there. Never takes more than a few minutes. I know mileage may vary by person but this does seem weird.

Reoccurring theme huh?

Anyone travelled this morning?

Slightly unrelated but the traffic guards working the arrivals pickup drive-through area have been straight up verbally abusive to visitors. I have witnessed on numerous occasions them literally SCREAMING at people and berating them for trying to get into their family member’s car. And I’m not talking about people breaking the rules and illegally parking in the drive through or taking excessively long to load up. Their behavior would borderline classify as near-assault with the degree they scream at people. Does not welcome people to our city very well.

We were there today and never seen these lines. We had to wait 10mins or so, just to take the escalator down to security. Glad we arrived 2.5hrs before our flight. It is ridiculous but somehow necessary. It would be nice if there was an explanation. It wasn’t weather.

That’s all well and good except if the ticketing agents aren’t open yet!

We almost missed our flight home yesterday. Arrived 2.5 hours before early and still had to run to make the flight. People in line were crying because they knew they were going to miss their flight.

Define longer than normal? Like a few minutes or the line goes up the stairs, around the elevator back of the 3rd floor long?

Was it still a long wait today? We have a flight tomorrow morning for 7

We almost missed a flight this summer. They only had 2 security lines open so it took forever to get through!

TSA better get itself together. Tulane homecoming this weekend

*at least* 3 hours?? 😵‍💫

The line has been going up the escalators, crazy!

This is after the upgrade. Did they cut shifts assuming the upgrade would make the lines quicker? It doesn't. Add more agents.

2 lanes open right now. This is insane.

Same for Sunday-I travel quite a bit and never seen it like this- it’s due to a lack of machines open. People will miss flights- been in line for almost an hour and moved 3 lanes.

Open the darn security lanes This is terrible

If holidays are coming TSA should put more personnel upfront I have a pre check and after 8 pm no one is there and I have to make my long lines why pay more if I have to make long lines

You're failing as an airport if that is your normal recommendation! (Which I know is not true)

Congratulations on the longest TSA line I have ever seen in a lifetime of travel! The winding queue on the lower floor, up the escalator and another line to the end of the checkin, that line loops back around the entire length, then loops again! Well done - if I miss my flight you all are going to have issues.

Worst airport to fly out of too many times I’ve missed flights

DFW is a way bigger airport and it doesn’t take that long to get through. I flew in from DFW to here on Monday. Not my first time flying here. I couldn’t believe the lines in such a small airport.

Why aren’t ALL the TSA check lanes open?

12 lanes of queue from one end to the other, then up the stairs, a line all the way across the check in lobby - that line loops all the way back and then loops again. It’s been like this since we got here at 9 am. Just as bad at 3:00 pm. You’re bad at this MSY. Open more TSA lanes and move this along! In this line for an hour and still 7 lines to go!

What the hell, open the lanes then it would go faster, simple solution.

Arrive 2-3 hours early! How about I I fly Gulfport. Only 15 minutes further than NOLA for me.

This is the most insane line I've ever seen

We always arrive 2-3 hrs before our scheduled “wheels up”

You know, normally I'm not an advocate for automation....but damn.

Thanks for the update. What's causing it?

I thought Pete had it all under control?

Taylor’s back? Lol

And it’s not even the holidays! 🤦🏻‍♂️😅 No thanks to flying anymore. I’ll drive!

Wheels up 630. Arrived 415am (ugh), maybe only a handful in line but early flights are brutal

But everything was so smooth for Taylor Swift
