How do I use TSA PreCheck for the first time?

Unlocking the Convenience of TSA PreCheck for a Seamless Travel Experience

TSA PreCheck is a program designed to expedite the security screening process for low-risk travelers, offering a faster and more convenient alternative to traditional security lines. To take advantage of TSA PreCheck, follow these simple steps for your first-time enrollment:

Step 1: Input PreCheck Number during Flight Booking

When booking your flight, provide your TSA PreCheck number in the designated field. This number is typically found on your PreCheck Known Traveler Number (KTN) card.

Step 2: Confirm PreCheck Inclusion on Boarding Pass

After completing your booking, check your boarding pass to ensure that your PreCheck information is included. Look for the “TSA PreCheck” indicator or the “PreCheck” symbol next to your seat number.

Step 3: Enjoy Expedited Security

At the airport, proceed to the dedicated TSA PreCheck line. Present your boarding pass and a valid ID to the agent. You will be asked to remove your shoes and place your carry-on bag on the conveyor belt. No liquids, electronics, or other items need to be separated out for screening.

Benefits of TSA PreCheck:

• Faster Screening: Avoid long lines and reduce your wait time at security checkpoints.
• Convenient Process: No need to remove shoes, laptops, liquids, or belts.
• Increased Privacy: Dedicated PreCheck lines provide a more private and less invasive screening experience.
• Peace of Mind: Know that you are considered a low-risk traveler and can move through security with ease.

Remember:

• To enroll in TSA PreCheck, you must complete an application and undergo a background check.
• Your PreCheck number must be valid for the duration of your travel.
• Always carry your PreCheck KTN card or have your number easily accessible for flight booking and screening.
