MyTSA is a travel app from the Transportation Security Administration that helps air travelers check security rules, wait times, and airport status information.
What is MyTSA?
MyTSA is a travel information app for people flying through U.S. airports. It helps travelers look up what items are allowed in carry-on or checked bags, review TSA security guidance, and check airport-specific information before heading to the checkpoint. The app also provides checkpoint wait-time information, historical busy-period estimates, current airport delay and weather details, and guidance related to TSA PreCheck enrollment and benefits. Users can save favorite airports for quicker access and use built-in assistance features to find answers to common travel questions. It is designed for trip planning and day-of-travel preparation, especially for passengers who want a single place to review TSA screening information on a mobile device.
