From Conde’ Nast:
If you still don’t have TSA PreCheck—meaning, you don’t know how glorious it is to breeze through pre-flight security with your shoes and belt on and laptop safely packed—then maybe this will sway you: For just $85 (covering a five-year membership), your PreCheck will work at more than 180 U.S. airports. And as of yesterday, Air France, Brussels Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, Philippine Airlines, and World Atlantic (a Caribbean charter airline) all agreed to recognize the trusted traveler program, the TSA announced, bringing the total number of participating airlines to 47.
Joining the PreCheck club is far from simple: Carriers have to meet all TSA security requirements and upgrade reservations systems to sync with the U.S. government’s Secure Flight prescreening system; after all, as Traveler‘s Barbara Peterson reported, even if you’re an existing TSA PreCheck member, it’s the airline that issues the boarding pass, and it’s that document that displays your PreCheck eligibility to the agent manning the entrance to the checkpoint.
