GUM security, common questions
How early should I get to GUM?
For a domestic flight out of Guam, plan to be inside the terminal about an hour before departure, and about an hour for an international one. That covers a 5 to 15 minute checkpoint queue at the Sunday peak plus the walk to the gate. Outside the peak you can safely trim it; the calculator above works it out from your actual departure time.
What is the busiest time at GUM security?
Sunday around 6 am, when 1 departures' worth of passengers are converging on the checkpoint at once. The calmest hour with real traffic is Sunday at 5 am, at roughly 6 minutes.
Is TSA PreCheck worth it at GUM?
At the Sunday peak it turns a 5 to 15 minute queue into something closer to 3 minutes. Over a five year membership that is worth it if you fly more than about three round trips a year through an airport this busy. The trusted traveler calculator prices it against your own flying.
When does security open at GUM?
Antonio B. Won Pat International Airport does not publish checkpoint opening hours in any national feed, so we will not invent them. What the schedule does show is that the first departures leave around 6 am, and checkpoints generally open about two hours before the first flight of the day.
Tips for GUM, from the data
- Fly between None if you can. That window sits between the two daily rushes, when the checkpoint is at its calmest.
- The 6 am hour is the single busiest today, at about 9 minutes in the standard lane.
- United runs 100% of departures here, so its checkpoints and gates carry the most traffic. Which airline you fly is what decides your terminal.
