Which airports and airlines use TSA PreCheck?

The annoying process of removing your shoes, laptop and other items from your carry-on bag can be avoided by using the TSA PreCheck program.

Thanks to the PreCheck line, you don't have to worry about waiting in line, you just load your luggage onto the carousel and go. For a small fee of $85 for a five-year membership, you can get preapproved, low-risk travelers to expedite their way through airport security.

In August, 95 percent of PreCheck users waited less than five minutes to go through airport security. Depending on the airport you are leaving from and the airline you are flying, PreCheck may not be available.

More than 200 US airports and domestic and foreign airlines participate in the program.

Remember that several credit cards cover the program application costs if you enroll in the PreCheck program.

To make sure the green precheck symbol appears on your boarding pass, double check this guide to verify your airport and airline both participate, before entering your known traveler number at the time of booking.

Which airlines have TSA PreCheck?

You need to make sure that the airline you are traveling on participates in the program if the airport you are traveling through has a PreCheck line.

When I flew from Los Angeles to Paris' Orly Airport in the spring, French Bee was not one of the airlines that offered TSA PreCheck.

If you are flying from the below list of domestic and international carriers, you need to enter your known traveler number when booking to make sure the green checkmark shows up on your boarding pass.

Some smaller airlines you may have never heard of are participating. Some low-cost airlines, such as Breeze and Spirit, offer PreCheck, but others, like French Bee and Play, don't.

There are 81 airlines that offer the Transportation Security Administration PreCheck.

Bottom line

It is only helpful at domestic airports in the U.S.

Even so, the $85 investment for new members every five years and $70 for renewals thereafter is worth it, given that you can use TSA PreCheck at more than 250 airports when you fly with any of more than 80 airlines.

You need to reference this guide for any updates on where you can use the pre-check.
