The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced today the expansion of its TSA PreCheck program with eight new airlines. That includes Air Premia, Air Tahiti Nui, Air Transat, Bahamasair, BermudAir, Iberia, La Compagnie and New Pacific Airlines.
In May, the agency announced that teenagers aged 13-17 may now accompany TSA PreCheck enrolled parents or guardians through TSA PreCheck screening when traveling on the same reservation and when the TSA PreCheck indicator appears on the teen’s boarding pass. Children 12 and under may accompany an enrolled parent or guardian in the TSA PreCheck lanes without restriction.
Enrolled airline passengers should look for the TSA Pre✓® indicator (such as TSAPRECHK, TSA PRE, or TSA Pre✓®) on their boarding pass to know if they are eligible for TSA PreCheck screening before their flight.
TSA PreCheck now costs $78 for five years. Renewal now only costs $70 for online applications, but costs $78 for in-person renewals.
Global Entry, which simplifies the customs process when returning from outside the U.S., also includes TSA PreCheck benefits, and costs $100 for five years. You can get either of these Trusted Traveler Programs for free if you have an eligible credit card.
