How to Use Airports to Plan Your Time Wisely

Spend less time waiting in airport queues and more time earning. The Airports tab in Gridwise shows you real-time flight activity so you can decide when it’s worth heading to or staying at the airport.

Arrivals and Departures

Just dropped someone off at the airport? Open the Airports tab to check the next few hours of arrivals and decide whether it's worth waiting.

Arrivals and departures data show upcoming passenger activity. Use this to plan when to head to the airport strategically.

Tip: Travelers typically arrive about two hours before takeoff, so checking the schedule a few hours early helps you catch more airport-bound trips.
