TSA Watch: LAS

Last updated: Mar 24, 2026 10:41 AM ET — 18 reports across 3 days

Earlier reports: Mar 24, 2026 10:40 AM ET|Mar 24, 2026 09:57 AM ET|Mar 24, 2026 09:24 AM ET

TSA wait times at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) have been minimal over the past few days. As of Tuesday morning (Tue Mar 24, 10:04 AM), waits were less than 10 minutes. Monday showed similarly short delays, with reports of under 10 minutes during morning hours (Mon Mar 23, 02:01 PM), and some travelers experiencing 20 seconds to immediate screening (Mon Mar 23, 02:37 PM and 02:55 PM).

PreCheck passengers have had notably faster experiences. One traveler reported under 8 minutes total with only 1–2 people ahead in the PreCheck line (Mon Mar 23, 12:06 PM), while another noted 2 minutes through TouchlessID PreCheck (Mon Mar 23, 04:55 PM). Standard lines have averaged 15–20 minutes (Mon Mar 23, 03:21 PM), though many reports indicate even shorter waits of 5–10 minutes for general screening.

Arrive 30–45 minutes before your flight for domestic travel. With most reports showing sub-15-minute waits even during mid-day hours, LAS is currently processing passengers efficiently. If you have TSA PreCheck, you can comfortably aim for the lower end of that window.

@AlBernstein Flew across the country to Florida with my family last week. No wait at TSA lines at either LAS or Pensacola airport. TSA workers were great. Smooth sailing.
