Syracuse Hancock Airport Security Wait Times (SYR): Live Now

On a typical day

~12 min through security at SYR, from our airport directory. Early mornings and holiday weekends run longer.

Budget that on top of check-in or bag drop and the walk to your gate. For your exact leave-home time, enter your flight above: the plan uses the live wait when there is one.

One checkpoint, 3:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.. Official security page: arrive two hours out. The checkpoint is not 24/7 and follows published departure times, not delay-adjusted ones.

How to get through faster at SYR

One checkpoint, 3:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Official TSA clock is 3:30 a.m.–9:00 p.m. Arrive two hours out. Building screening is not 24/7.
After the checkpoint the sterile side splits: Concourse A / south (Escape, Qdoba, SYRenity, Middle Ages, Heritage News, vending near Gate 14) and Concourse B / north (Johnny Rockets in the hallway, Einstein and Palladino at 21–22, Travel@ease at 20). Official dining cards are the live gate pins — the Feb 2020 PDF map still shows a PreCheck enrollment office and other closed labels. Do not navigate from that PDF.
Pet relief: official accessibility page — post-security room in Terminal A, plus areas at the entrance and exit of the parking garage.
Baby-care rooms: two, both post-security, locked, chair + changing table + power. Family restrooms throughout. Hearing loops at ticket and rental counters (installed Jan 2020). Sorenson VideoPhones: one pre-security at the top of the escalators to the right of TSA, one post-security to the left. Free Aira for blind / low-vision passengers. Hidden Disabilities sunflower lanyards at the ticket counter or through SRAA.

PreCheck, CLEAR, liquids and IDs. What the TSA lets through and which programs actually save time.
