How We Source Our Data
Every reading is recorded from official sources, five minutes apart, around the clock, and kept in a permanent archive.
Who's Behind GateWaitTimes
GateWaitTimes is built by a small, independent team that cares about air travel and honest data. We are not a government agency or an airline, and that independence is the point: we measure every airport the same way and publish exactly what the official feeds report, with no spin and no guesswork.
Why GateWaitTimes
Measured, not guessed
We poll every checkpoint every ten minutes and keep every reading, so our typical-wait patterns come from real observation.
One clear answer
Enter your flight time on any airport page and get a single instruction: leave by 3:10 PM.
Live and honest
Every figure carries the time it was observed, and first-party airport feeds power our biggest hubs.
