LINTHICUM, Md. — BWI is still experiencing significant travel delays.

In a post on X, BWI officials are urging travelers to arrive at the airport four hours early.

"We have not previously experienced checkpoint wait times similar to what we are seeing this morning," the post said.

This comes after officials previously told travelers to arrive three hours early on what was described as the "airport's busiest day of the year," on Friday.

The delays come as Americans wait for Congress to figure out DHS funding; nearly one in every three TSA workers at the airport have been calling out, according to the latest numbers from a few days ago.

Travelers most impacted are those departing from Concourses A, B and C.
