It surprises many people that CLT is one of the busiest airports in the US. In fact in 2020 it handled more passengers that Las Vegas and any of the Florida or New York Airports. So it might then after all not come as so much of a surprise that wait times at CLT can only be rated as average to long. You are advised to arrive 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours for an international flight. Please always check with your airline and flight status before leaving for the airport.
You can see the current estimated CLT TSA wait times and PreCheck locations and lane openings in the details above. TSA PreCheck membership can lead to significantly reduced security wait times at CLT. To find out more about joining or renewing TSA PreCheck membership visit https://www.tsa.gov/precheck.

We don't have enough feedback yet to determine how long those arriving at CLT may have to wait to clear immigration. If you are connecting at CLT it's worth ensuring you have a sufficient layover window to be on the safe side of not missing your onward flight.
