Born from crisis. Built for convenience. We are on a mission to give travelers their time back.
TSA LineSitter exists to solve a simple but painful problem: the hours that millions of Americans lose every year waiting in TSA security lines. We connect travelers with vetted line sitters who hold their spot, so they can spend their time on what matters — not standing in line.
We believe that in a world where you can order food, hail a ride, and check into your flight from your phone, you should not have to stand in a four-hour line to get through security.
The US is facing an unprecedented TSA staffing crisis at the worst possible time.
Since 2025, over 500 TSA officers have left the agency due to pay disputes, working conditions, and federal workforce reductions. The result is severe understaffing at airports across the country, with security lines stretching to four hours or more at peak times.
Making matters worse, the 2026 FIFA World Cup is being hosted across the United States, bringing an estimated 5 million international visitors to US airports. Houston, a host city with two major airports, is already seeing the worst wait times in the nation with lines regularly exceeding 4 hours at George Bush Intercontinental.
Travelers are missing flights, arriving at airports 5 to 6 hours early, and dealing with unprecedented stress just to get through security. The TSA has no timeline for resolving the staffing shortage. Something had to change.
TSA LineSitter is the marketplace that matches travelers with verified line sitters at 30 major US airports. Sitters arrive early, wait in the TSA line, and hold your spot. When they are near the front, you get an email notification. Head to the checkpoint, verify your sitter with a QR code, and step into their place.
It is not a hack or a shortcut. It is a service — the same concept as hiring someone to wait in line at a restaurant, a government office, or a product launch. The only difference is we have built a platform that makes it safe, verified, and seamless.
For sitters, it is a flexible way to earn $25 to $100 per hour with nothing more than a smartphone and the ability to stand in line. For travelers, it is the difference between spending four hours in a line and spending four hours however you choose.
Three principles guide every decision we make.
Whether you are a traveler tired of wasting hours in line or someone looking to earn money on a flexible schedule, TSA LineSitter is built for you.
