Travelers can now access U.S. Custom’s wait times for the 23 busiest international airports from anytime and anywhere.

The “Airport Wait Times” mobile website uses historical data from U.S. Custom’s and Border Protection flight processing times, commonly referred to as wait times, to give users wait estimates. The mobile website is accessible on any platform and according to the agency:

The flight processing time is the length of time from flight arrival to the time the last passenger on the flight is screened by CBP officers in the primary processing area. Flight arrival patterns can vary considerably by time of year and day of week, as well as by time of day. The best predictor of wait times for future flights is the wait time observed for the corresponding seasonal time period in the recent past. To help travelers in planning their next flight, CBP is providing the public with historical data for the past twelve months that can be used to estimate seasonal wait times by airport and arrival terminal.
