TSA PreCheck at HVN
PreCheck lane status not reported right now
The TSA PreCheck lane at New Haven is usually the quickest way through security. Travelers keep shoes and belts on and leave laptops packed, so it moves faster than the standard lane. At a mid-size airport, PreCheck is typically concentrated at one or two checkpoints and may close during quieter stretches of the day.
The status above comes from the same feed as the wait time on this page. GateWaitTimes polls it every 10 minutes, around the clock. If the lane shows closed, standard screening is still open; recheck shortly before you leave in case staffing changes.
