TSA Precheck: What if the airline invitation never arrives?


Skift Take

It's more of a hassle, but travelers who don't have upper-tier frequent flyer status, can get into TSA precheck through U.S. Customs and Border Protection Trusted Traveler programs.

What do you do if you are waiting for an airline invitation to join the TSA Precheck program for expedited security screening at the airport, and the email never arrives? Don't despair. There are other ways to get in with the road warrior in-crowd at airport security lanes, but it will cost you $100 and require and in-person interview. There are two ways to get into the program: an invitation from your airline because of your frequent flyer status, or signing up for one of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Trusted Traveler programs, including Global Entry, NEXUS, and SENTRI.
