TSA PreCheck Adds More Airlines to Its Program

1.8K

Those who travel a lot will tell you that THE best way to travel through airports is to have a TSA PreCheck membership – it can save you a whole lot of time in comparison to the “traditional” queue.

However, having PreCheck is only as good as the airlines in its program. If you’re flying on an airline that doesn’t participate, you can’t use the PreCheck line. So every new airline is a great thing, every airline that is no longer a part of the PreCheck program is a loss.

The last time any airlines were removed from TSA PreCheck’s list was in June, 2023.

But now 4 more airlines have been added to PreCheck’s roster, bringing the total up to 90 airlines in 2 countries (the U.S. and one international location). The 4 new airlines include:
