After several days of long security lines, some that have even forced people to line outside of Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, a spokesperson says their online wait-time tracker is back up and running, and wait times are currently under 10 minutes at all checkpoints.

“Our advice for passengers is back to our standard advice, which is 2 hours before a domestic flight and 3 hours before an international flight,” said Alnissa Ruiz-Craig, interim director of communications for the airport.

On Monday, Transportation Security Administration workers started receiving pay following President Donald Trump’s executive order on Friday.
