As of this week,
TSA Pre✓™ is now available at the Cincinnati
Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) for select American, Delta,
United, and US Airways frequent flyers, or members of U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Trusted Traveler Program. The TSA
Pre✓™ line is located at the main terminal.
I stopped by the TSA Pre✓™
lane at CVG yesterday and asked a passenger what he thought of the TSA Pre✓™
experience. Hear what he had
to say! After chatting with a few of the Officers, I learned that
passengers have been very pleased with their
TSA Pre✓™ experience.
Have you
already opted into TSA Pre✓™ but rarely get selected for expedited
screening? Here are some possible reasons why as well as some tips:
- First off, to keep things random and unpredictable for anyone with bad intentions, there are times where you may not be selected for expedited screening.
- TSA Pre✓™ is currently only available for U.S. citizens traveling domestically on a participating airline, out of a participating airport. Click here for the most updated list.
- If you are a member of a CBP Trusted Traveler program, be sure you’re including your PASS ID – found in the top-left corner on the back of your membership card – in the ‘Known Traveler’ field every time you book a flight. If you’re not sure it’s in there, especially if you’re not booking it yourself, you can always call your airline to confirm that your number is on the reservation before you fly.
In case you're
wondering what TSA Pre✓™ is, you can go here to read all about
it. Long story short, it's an initiative that allows passengers to keep their
shoes and belts on, and keep their laptops in their bags. Also, it is free to
many members who have been opted in by participating airlines. To see if you
