Determining incoming traffic at a specific airport/date

I am trying to figure out how many flights will arrive in Barbados on a specific day within a 90-minute period. I tried using the ITA website and Google Flights but they didn't give me what I wanted. The reason for this exercise is to predict the wait time passing through immigration. This is important after I had to stand in line for 2 hours at Mexico City airport a few weeks ago.

Barbados offers a fast-track program that hustles a person through immigration for a fee and I'd like to assess if it's a worthwhile purchase.

Thanks.

Flightaware and a few others can show you arrival and departure traffic for the past few days or week. If you're searching for dates far in advance though, I don't think they have that, but you can usually check the same day of the week as you're arriving and compare.

Playing around with Google Flights worked best. It revealed that there are only a few nonstop flights that fly to Barbados (from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, London, JFK) on the day in question. None are arriving at the time that I do. I am expecting immigration to be unfettered by crowds.

Thanks for the suggestions.
