The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced expansion of its TSA PreCheck program with the addition of four carriers Aer Lingus, Air New Zealand, Ethiopian Airlines and Saudia.
To use the service, traveller’s must apply to the program in advance, visit an enrolment centre for fingerprinting and to have their photo taken, plus pay a fee ($78 to $85 for five years). Upon approval, traveller’s are issued a Known Traveler Number, which is added to airline reservations.
TSA PreCheck is an expedited screening program enabling low-risk travellers to enjoy a secure and efficient screening experience at more than 200 U.S. state and territory airports and nearly 100 airlines now participate in the program.
