Streamline Your Airport Experience with TSA PreCheck Touchless ID Program
Travelers facing long TSA lines at U.S. airports can take advantage of the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID program to speed up security wait times. This program uses facial recognition technology for faster identity verification, leading to shorter wait times in separate Touchless ID lanes at security checkpoints. Currently available at 65 airports, travelers must enroll through their airline, have TSA PreCheck, an active frequent flyer profile, and valid passport information uploaded.
Five airlines, including Alaska, American, Delta, Southwest, and United, participate in the Touchless ID program. Each airline has a slightly different opt-in process. Alaska Airlines requires an Atmost Rewards account, American Airlines requires a rewards account, Delta allows SkyMiles account holders to opt in, Southwest requires enrollment through Rapid Rewards, and United passengers need a Mileage Plus account to enroll.
To enroll in Touchless ID, travelers must follow specific steps outlined by their respective airlines. Once enrolled, travelers can enjoy expedited security screening at participating airports. TSA has provided a map on its website showing the locations of airports where Touchless ID is available.
For travelers looking to streamline their airport experience and reduce wait times, enrolling in the TSA PreCheck Touchless ID program through their airline can be a convenient and efficient option. By following the airline-specific enrollment process, passengers can enjoy expedited security screening at select airports across the United States.
