Overview
- Houston Airports reported roughly three hours at Bush Intercontinental and about one hour at Hobby on Monday morning.
- Security screening at IAH is limited to Terminals A and E after three of five checkpoints were closed over the weekend.
- The FAA said nearly 13,000 air traffic controllers have been working without pay for weeks, with recent staffing strain prompting periodic ground stops in Houston.
- Airport officials urged travelers to arrive earlier than usual and cautioned that posted wait times are estimates that can lag real conditions.
- United passengers at IAH were directed to check bags at Terminal C before proceeding to Terminal E for screening, and reports Monday noted little advantage for TSA PreCheck.
