We don’t have an hour-by-hour security wait profile for Central Illinois Regional Airport at Bloomington-Normal yet. GateWaitTimes is collecting measurements, and this page will fill in as history accumulates. Until then, some general guidance based on the airport’s size:

As a mid-size airport, arriving about 90 minutes before a domestic flight and 2.5 hours before an international one is usually comfortable. Waits tend to peak when several departures cluster together — most often early morning and late afternoon.

Outside those clusters, lines at airports this size are often 15 minutes or less. Holiday weeks and Monday mornings are the main exceptions.
