Based on CBP historical data for this day and hour. Updates daily.
Collected every minute from official airport and government feeds.
As of right now, you're looking at about 36 minutes in the regular line. That said, lines move fast here — it can change a lot depending on time of day. The early morning rush (5-7 AM) and late afternoon wave (4-6 PM) tend to be the worst.
Yes. You can keep your shoes, belt, and jacket on, and leave your laptop in your bag. In practice, PreCheck saves about 5-10 minutes at Atlanta — sometimes more during peak hours.
CBP tracks immigration wait times across 2 terminals at Atlanta. If you're a US citizen, expect a shorter line; non-US citizens typically wait longer. Global Entry members can skip the line entirely and use the automated kiosks. One thing to know: CBP data runs about 2-3 days behind, so the numbers here are based on recent patterns rather than a live feed.
