Estimating queue pressure…
Check your return flight queue

We estimate how many flights are departing at the same time — that's your check-in and security queue.

Checking departure queue pressure…
Just landed? Tell us how long you waited.
Your real-world data makes Queue IQ sharper for every traveller who comes after you. It only takes 10 seconds.

Historical arrivals

We check all flights arriving at your destination in the same ±1 hour window — based on last week's data.

Your queue type

At Schengen airports, UK travellers join the non-EU queue. We filter to flights competing for the same desks.

Crowd intelligence

Real wait times from travellers are folded in over time to sharpen estimates for each airport.

Tips to beat the queue

  • Early morning landings (06:00–09:00) can coincide with overnight long-haul arrivals from the Americas.
  • EES is now active at Schengen borders — UK travellers must join the non-EU queue for biometric checks, even on return visits. E-gates are no longer available.
  • A High or Very High rating means over an hour is possible — factor this into car hire and transfer bookings.
  • Estimates are based on scheduled arrivals. Diversions and early landings can spike queues unexpectedly.
A Holiday Extras experiment — estimates are indicative only. Always allow extra time.
