TSA Preferred Pre Check Program

There is a new pre check program sponsored by TSA. Frequent fliers are being invited to join the program by their airlines. However, even if you are overlooked by your airline there is a way to qualify. Pre check is not available at all airports yet but is being expanded.

Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines and US Airways are contacting eligible frequent flyers with an invitation to opt-in. Once the passenger opts-in, the airline identifies the individual as a TSA Pre✓™ participant when submitting passenger reservation information to TSA’s Secure Flight system.

If you don't get a notice from your airline check out these steps for applying:

Here are the basic steps for applying:
Before a traveler can apply for a Trusted Traveler program, they must first register for a CBP Global Online Enrollment System (GOES) account.

Once registered in GOES, the traveler can move forward with the enrollment in one of the CBP eligible programs. The GOES system will provide a PASS ID number after the enrollment in a Trusted Traveler program.
