Harried travelers may not believe it, but Salt Lake City International Airport wins bragging rights for the shortest waits at security checkpoints among the nation’s 25 busiest airports, according to a new study.
The average wait there is 9.1 minutes — a minute and a half quicker than at No. 2 Washington Dulles International Airport, and 20 minutes better than at last-place Newark Liberty International.
That’s according to a study by Upgraded Points, a website that advises how to maximize use of credit card mileage points. It analyzed 2018 Transportation Security Administration data that report average wait times for each hour, every day of the week at the airports.
