What Does TSA PreCheck Get You?

For frequent travelers, TSA PreCheck can make getting through airport security a little less stressful. Eligible travelers can use dedicated screening lanes at participating airports, and most TSA PreCheck passengers wait less than five minutes at security.

You can generally leave your laptop and 3-1-1 liquids in your carry-on bag, while keeping your belt and light jacket on. Children 12 and under can also accompany an eligible parent or guardian through TSA PreCheck at no additional cost.
