How to Use Airports

Spend less time waiting at the airport! Don’t get stuck waiting in a massive queue. With Gridwise, you’ll always know whether it’s worth it to wait at the airport.

Arrivals and Departures

Just drop someone off at the airport? Check the next four hours of passenger arrivals and see whether it's worth entering the queue. 

The arrivals and departures will show passengers landing and departing the airport. Use the departures information to understand the best time for trips to the airport. Typically, flyers will budget 1 hour for airport security and 1 hour for the drive up to the airport. This means that 2 hours before a large departure peak you could expect to find more trips to the airport. 

How to View Arrivals and Departures 

1. Navigate to the airports tab
2. Based on your market see the nearest airports with the next arrival peak
3. Click on the airport name to view both the number of passengers arriving at the next peak and see the next 4 hours* (Gridwise Plus users see 24 hour flight data) 

*For free users Airport data is updated once every 24 hours
