Are the TSA precheck or CLEAR+ lines open? Or is it’s only general TSA open at this time?
Sunday, Monday is typically cruise traffic…is that the case and, is the pre-check line experiencing delays?
How are the baggage check lines? Are those causing delays as well? Vicki Monteleone
Not bad this morning, got through security in 10 minutes! đđť
Missy Watts yeah. 5 hrs seems safest to me but I’m an anxious Annie lol
How does this affect Clear lines?
Annisa Sasser it’s getting better!!
Lines were totally fine this morning. Got through clear with precheck in under 5 min
What about PreCheck?

I got in line at 6:14 and made it through at 7:00. Not a short wait but no where near what they reported yesterday.
Just went through in 10 minutes
Yes they are open
OMG
They will do something when people start cancelling trips to MSY...and the parking garage? That is very strange...

Is Clear also affected?
Just got through the line in roughly 30-45 minutes! Not too bad, but still i recommend getting here early! Happy Traveling! Thank God, I’ll make my cruise đ
How are parking garages and other parking facilities handling now with customers having to possibly pay extra due to having to be at the airport even earlier now?

Is this bad early in the morning? My upcoming flight boards at 6:30 am
This is what happens when you don’t pay people!!

I was there yesterday, thank God we got there 3 hours before ….TSA line was 2 1/2 hours and so many people missed their flights but we didn’t.
Got here 3 hours early and breezed through Preâ . Ticketing and Baggage check was absolutely stupid backed up! Good thing I was able to get on an earlier flight!!

Tamika Cage we can just walk to comp next year right? đ
Just pitch a tent. Get snacks, just chill out to the airport.
Amtrak looking good đ
This is totally outrageous.... Honestly I don't care if you Republican Democrat independent no party I don't even care if you vote.... To hold the airlines and transportation hostage is a true failure by our government. đ
Haleigh Sharp Gautreaux just in case you need to know
So no Pre check or clear as an option?
Yall need some tsa guards? Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport i have 5 years as armed guard and a year in law enforcement everything by the book!
Do yall know how long this will be?
This is baloney. I flew home from Denver yesterday, which is much larger than our airport and there were zero staffing issues, zero lines and I breezed right through that airport. I also flew back home recently from DC and Austin with no issues because of the government shut down. This is a New orleans thing based on my firsthand, travel experience to these other airports in the last 12 days. ďżź Plus, each time I flew out of New Orleans to those cities I had no issues with TSA lines at New Orleans.
Just go the day before
Carmen Smith I think they saw your post
What a difference a day makes! Wow! I went through MSY yesterday at 12:30 pm and the lines to check in at the kiosks and baggage check were far longer than TSA Pre Check or Clear. Piece of cake! Many TSA employees all around.
I just flew from New Orleans airport I didn’t see anything like this… No issues at all.
How early can you arrive for a 6 am flight?
Julie Poincot
Becky Jameson im so sorry but I cant wait to hang out next week! đŹđŹ
Precheck was open this morning and I got through in 10 minutes. Still went 3 hours early to be safe!
Thank Troy Carter for this! He voted for it!
Is the my TSA app accurate?
Is the clear lane still open during this?
Gina DiMaggio McAndrew hope it changes soon đł
Andrew Wolfe Austin Wolfe. Need to keep an eye on this.
Tulisa Manaway idk if you still going to drive but just wanted to show you this suh
Training comes into play. Supervisors should encourage workers to FOCUS! Not chit-chat with their Co-workers or get involved with something in another line. Keep things moving!
What about Love Field? I fly out of there in a month.

Looks like the same few lines always open. TSA agents who are working seem to have a good rhythm going and moving everyone efficiently as possible.
What about tomorrow?

It’s about 5 hours too late to post this now so many people missed their flights this morning already
Every station was open and working with employees. Where was the shortage?
Was there this morning..90+ minutes later finally got to the TSAđąđąđąđą
Why isn't the rest of the nations airports experiencing the same issue due to the federal governments partial shutdown
Thanks Trump
So is the MyTSA app wrong?
Can y’all also talk about the dozens of diverted flights there due to the weather other places???
Trump didn’t have friends when he was a child!
I tired of idiot Trump interfering with my life ,wants and needs!I can’t do everything I want but what I ‘m use to and like I don’t him fooling around with! The Loset!
I say shut it all down. MAGA is destroying the foundation of America anyway- just shut it all the way down to show the incompetence of MAGA republicans
If the government don’t open back up it will get worse!
Complete incompetence by MSY staff. No line for clear but making everyone stand in a long ass line for standard TSA

Due to impacts from the federal government's partial shutdown, the TSA is experiencing a shortage of workers at the security checkpoint, which is causing longer-than-average lines.
Passengers with travel scheduled today are advised to arrive at least 3 hours before their scheduled departure to allow plenty of time to undergo security screening.
For the latest updates on flight status, travelers are encouraged to check directly with their airline.
The Airport has staff on hand to help keep the lines organized, and we will continue to coordinate with our federal partners with the TSA as they navigate this issue. ... See MoreSee Less

Maybe selling Kristi Noem’s jet could free up some of the DHS budget
Can you please add real time TSA info to your website? Other airports offer this.
Is pre tsa still moving faster than regular?
Jessica Ann John Washington yall keep this in mind tomorrow
Salt Lake City airport was completely normal. It’s not a nationwide issue
Is this just for today?
How’s Pre check going???
Maybe the democrats should fund homeland security !!!!
We were just there. We can not say enough about how WONDERFUL everyone at the airport was. Yes, the lines are out to the parking garage, but, they are moving efficiently and Every worker, TSA and employee were kind and patient and VERY organized!! Great job MSY!!!!
This is totally outrageous.... Honestly I don't care if you Republican Democrat independent no party I don't even care if you vote.... To hold the airlines and transportation hostage is a true failure by our government. đ
Is it still long…
4 hours if ya gotta check a bag
Give thanks to TRUMP for that.
We just flew out of NOLA on Wednesday morning and it was the fastest we ever got through TSA
Thank a TSA officer when you see one!!! They didn’t have to show up for work!!!!
Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, does having TSA PreCheck make any difference in this situation this week?
It’s a Nola issue… not a nation wide issue, most other airports TSA came to work and did there jobs. Don’t like your job, you choose to work for the federal government, get a new one simple solution.
I just got back from Dallas. When I left on Friday there was only one line for TSA. A rep from Clear, informed the line what was going on with TSA and politely asked us to be patient. She states TSA had not been paid so many had called out to go make money elsewhere. She helped the best she could by taking a hold of the situation since people began skipping in line. Today, looked like maybe another line had opened up. The Zig Zag line was to the escalator.
Good. Let the entire US do the same. Democrats pass the funding.
I would still go to work because I know I would eventually get paid.
And please be kind to the TSA workers. If you know what you should and shouldn't bring, don't be rude to them, because they're just doing their job. Thank you.đâ¨
Have the day you voted for!
Does this affect CLEAR since they are agent free now??? I fly out tomorrow morning.
Rebecca Yates hopefully it’s better by June
I saw it and think 3hrs is a low estimate. Happy to be wrong.

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport when the new terminal and Airport expansion begin? What is the status of that project?
Ahhhhh biscuits!!! đ
I remember last time it was shut down.
Cheaper than a new service road for the shuttle busses. $57 million cheaper. Let that sink in.
