What is TSA PreCheck, and why should I consider adding it to my Delta account?
TSA PreCheck is a trusted traveler program designed to expedite the security screening process at airports. Approved travelers can enjoy benefits such as keeping their shoes, belts, and light jackets on, leaving laptops and liquids in their carry-on bags, and passing through dedicated TSA PreCheck lanes. By adding TSA PreCheck to your Delta account, you ensure that you will have access to these convenient perks when flying with Delta.
How do I apply for TSA PreCheck?
To apply for TSA PreCheck, you must start by filling out an online application. Visit the official website of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and click on the “Apply Now” button. Provide the required information, including your name, date of birth, and contact details. You will also need to pay a non-refundable application fee of $85 for a five-year membership.
What happens after I submit my application?
Once you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions on how to schedule an appointment for an in-person interview. During the interview, a TSA representative will verify your documents, take your fingerprints, and assess your eligibility for the program. It is important to note that there are various interview locations across the United States, making it convenient for most applicants.
Can I add TSA PreCheck to my Delta account before receiving my Known Traveler Number (KTN)?
No, you must have a Known Traveler Number (KTN) before adding TSA PreCheck to your Delta account. After successfully passing the TSA PreCheck application process and receiving approval, the TSA will assign you a unique KTN. Keep this number safe and make sure to include it when adding TSA PreCheck to your Delta account.
How do I add TSA PreCheck to my Delta account?
Adding TSA PreCheck to your Delta account is a straightforward process. Start by logging in to your Delta account on their official website. Once logged in, navigate to the “My Profile” section and select “Personal Details.” From there, you will find an option to add your Known Traveler Number (KTN) under the “Secure Flight Passenger Data” section. Enter your KTN and save your changes. Your TSA PreCheck status will now be linked to your Delta account.
Will all my future Delta flights automatically have TSA PreCheck?
While most airlines participate in TSA PreCheck, including Delta, it is important to note that TSA PreCheck availability can vary based on factors such as flight, time, and airport. While adding TSA PreCheck to your Delta account will increase the chances of being eligible for the program, it is not a guarantee for every single flight. However, it significantly increases the likelihood of being selected for expedited screening.
By following these steps, you can add TSA PreCheck to your Delta account and enjoy the benefits of expedited security screening during your travels. Remember to always check your eligibility before each trip to ensure smooth and hassle-free airport experiences. Bon voyage!
