In the airport today

• Today (Tuesday, June 23, 2026) at STX: about 506 departing passengers across 15 flights, busiest check-in window around 1:00pm — Low crowd severity.

Know before you go — STX

• Small single-terminal airport — lines are usually short except when multiple jets depart together.
• U.S. Customs at STX: the USVI is OUTSIDE the U.S. customs zone, so travelers heading to the mainland clear CBP before boarding.
• TSA PreCheck is available at STX.
• Inter-island prop flights (9K Cape Air, Seaborne) use a separate check-in area and don't share the main TSA queue.

How the crowd forecast works

• Departure crowds are modeled from each flight's seat count × a typical load factor, spread across a multi-hour check-in/security curve that peaks about 2 hours before departure.
• Crowd estimates are modeled from published flight schedules × typical load factors. Actual TSA wait times vary. Always verify your airline's check-in window.
