William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) TSA Wait Times

HOU peaks track Southwest's bank schedule. The reliable spikes are 5:30–7:30 AM and 11:00 AM–1:00 PM, with another push around 4:00–6:00 PM. Sunday-evening returns are the heaviest single window of the week. Atlas's prediction nails down the specific moment so you're not guessing.

Hobby is dramatically easier than IAH for most travelers. Domestic with PreCheck: 60 minutes is usually plenty. Standard lane during a Sunday-evening return: 90 minutes. International from the West Concourse: 2 hours. Atlas will refine the answer for your specific flight.

Yes — the main checkpoint has both PreCheck and CLEAR lanes. Atlas predicts wait times by lane, so you can see whether PreCheck or CLEAR is the faster option on your travel day — that varies more than people think.

Hobby has Garage A (closest, most expensive) and Garage B, plus an Ecopark economy lot served by free shuttles. The garages are walking distance from the terminal — much faster than IAH's bus shuttle from off-site lots. On a busy holiday Monday, the garages can fill, so the economy lot is the safer pre-book.

International service runs from the West Concourse, which opened in 2015. You'll go through the same main TSA checkpoint as domestic flyers, then walk to the West Concourse gates. Arriving international passengers clear customs in the West FIS facility before exiting.
