Four More Airlines Added to TSA PreCheck
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced this week a further expansion of its TSA PreCheck® program with the addition of Aer Lingus, Air New Zealand, Ethiopian Airlines and Saudia.
Nearly 100 airlines now participate in the program, which enables low-risk travelers to enjoy a secure and efficient screening experience at more than 200 U.S. state and territory airports, and one foreign Preclearance airport at the Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas.
TSA PreCheck passengers travel with ease and may keep on their shoes, belts and light jackets and are not required to remove laptops, 3-1-1 liquids and food items from their carry-on bags. TSA PreCheck says that 99% of passengers wait less than 10 minutes in dedicated lanes at airport checkpoints nationwide.
TSA PreCheck is available for eligible passengers when departing from a participating airport or when connecting on domestic flights after returning to the U.S. from a foreign airport.
Enrolling in TSA PreCheck is easy. Visit tsa.gov/precheck and choose one of the enrollment providers, CLEAR, IDEMIA, or Telos. Next, submit the online application in five minutes and complete enrollment in 10 minutes at your chosen provider which includes fingerprinting, document and photo capture, and payment.
When it comes to paying for TSA PreCheck, there are numerous credit card that will reimburse you the fee.
Once approved, travelers receive a unique Known Traveler Number (KTN) that, when added to an airline reservation, makes them eligible to use TSA PreCheck lanes. Most new enrollees receive a KTN within three to five days.
