TSA Pre Check Question

Once you've done the appointment you should be given your known travel number. You will then have to enter that number into whatever frequent flyer account you're using to fly in a couple of weeks. You should then get TSA pre on your boarding pass to use on that flight.

I have an appointment tomorrow to get TSA Pre Check

my recommendation would be to simply upgrade to global entry as it comes with TSA pre-check

You get a KTN (known traveler number)

Hope you’re not going to the Laplace office. The beast working there…you get the point, not trying to get banned

Just a heads up if this is your first time using your TSA pre-check number, make sure it is uploaded to your airline account before checking into your flight. If not, they will have to "un-check" you in and it is a mess. And if you're flying Southwest, you lose whatever boarding number you had and it's back of the line. We dad it happened to someone we were flying with.

Agree with the global entry upgrade. I'm doing that next time I have to renew.

Just did it. It took about three days after the appointment. We got it by email.

Not sure where you are located, but we made an appointment at an off-airport place in Kenner and it couldn't have been smoother.

Took my son less than a week a couple months ago. He’s 13 but I read where 13-17 can be denied precheck even flying with a parent that is
