Missed my flight because of a huge security line, does the airline help?

Unfortunately, airlines usually treat this as a passenger-caused miss, but you still have options:

• Go to the airline desk right away and explain what happened. Some agents will help with standby.
• Ask for the next available flight and whether the change fee can be waived.
• Keep proof, such as photos of the line or a note from the airport, in case you claim insurance.
• Check your travel insurance or credit card benefits, since some cover delays at the airport.

For next time, arrive earlier on busy days and use airport apps to check wait times. Here is a helpful guide on what to do if you miss your flight.
