"Steven Dial, a Houston resident, charges $65 per hour to wait in TSA lines, plus $6 per hour for parking. Within 24 hours of posting his services on social media, Dial had hundreds of inquiries and a full day of bookings."
"Jimmy Payne, another entrepreneur, initially posted his line-sitting offer as a joke. Now he's planning to charge $1,200 at Atlanta's airport and $800 in Houston, where TSA lines have topped four hours."
"The chaos has also boosted private jet bookings, which have skyrocketed 39% since the shutdown began."
TSA lines at major US airports are currently easing, but the ongoing partial government shutdown poses a risk of long waits returning. Some travelers have resorted to hiring individuals to stand in line for them. Steven Dial charges $65 per hour for this service, while Jimmy Payne plans to charge up to $1,200 at Atlanta's airport. The situation has also led to a significant increase in private jet bookings, which have risen by 39% since the shutdown began.
