Most airports recommend passengers arrive two hours before their flights. But what should you do during a government shutdown?

In an advisory issued on Nov. 2, Houston Airports warned travelers to expect extended TSA wait times “until further notice."

Ground delays are in place at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) because of continued staffing issues.

Security checkpoints at terminals A and E are the only TSA screening locations open at IAH as of press time, per the advisory. Additionally, passengers at HOU may see reduced lanes available. Passengers traveling through IAH can use the Subway to access TSA checkpoints at either terminal and the Skyway to reach their specific gate,

Houston Airports advises travelers to plan for extended wait times due to TSA staff shortages during the government shutdown, with Bush Intercontinental facing delays up to three hours.

Houston Airports warned passengers to expect delays until further notice at both Bush and William P. Hobby airports, with wait times exceeding three hours at the former. Houston Airports said the government shutdown affected TSA staffing and operations nationwide.

A strong cold front is sweeping across Southeast Texas, bringing widespread rain, gusty winds and the potential for severe weather through Saturday.
