BoardFlight is a consumer-facing travel planning tool that computes a personalized arrive-by time for a flight by modeling each step from doors to gate across 61 US airports. This README documents a small supporting dataset (12 airports) that shows security wait times vary up to 20x within a day, challenging the generic 'arrive two hours early' advice. The project is a useful data-backed take on a common question, though its dataset is narrow and its wait times are modeled rather than measured.

Target audience: travelers and travel planners; data journalists
