TSA Expands PreCheck Program with Eight New Airlines
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is expanding its popular TSA PreCheck program by adding eight new airlines.
Now you can enjoy TSA PreCheck benefits when traveling with Air Premia, Air Tahiti Nui, Air Transat, Bahamasair, BermudAir, Iberia, La Compagnie and New Pacific Airlines.
TSA PreCheck is an expedited screening program which lets you skip lines when possible at more than 200 U.S. state and territory airports, including at the Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau, Bahamas.
TSA PreCheck passengers get to keep their shoes, belts and light jackets on and are not required to remove laptops, 3-1-1 liquids and food items from their carry-on bags. About 99% of TSA PreCheck passengers wait less than 10 minutes in dedicated lanes at airport checkpoints nationwide.
TSA PreCheck is available for eligible passengers when departing from a U.S. airport or when connecting on domestic flights after returning to the United States from a foreign airport.
The program is open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals or U.S. lawful permanent residents. The price of TSA PreCheck is as low as $78 for five years. The application takes a few minutes and you need to schedule an in-person appointment to complete your enrollment. The interview also takes just a few minutes normally.
Once approved, travelers receive a unique Known Traveler Number (KTN) that you can then add to an airline reservation. That makes you eligible to to use TSA PreCheck lanes at security checkpoints nationwide.

This is great. So far I see no place to add my KTN. We fly them in two weeks, maybe, just maybe, they will get it together and we’ll be able to add that but I have doubts.
