The TSA Pre® screening program has expanded to include 9 more airlines, bringing the total airlines partners to 65 domestic and international carriers.

TSA PreCheck screening program – New airline partners (2019)

  • Air India
  • Asiana Airlines
  • China Airlines
  • Eastern Airlines
  • Elite Airways
  • EVA Airways
  • Japan Airlines
  • TAP Air Portugal
  • Volaris

TSA Pre® allows expedited screening for low risk travellers that make use of dedicated lanes and don’t need to remove shoes, belts, jackets and even laptops, while going through security. The program is available for $85 (for five years) to US citizens, US nationals and lawful permanent residents of the US. Once approved, members get a ‘Known Traveler Number’ which can be included while making airline reservations. Members of Global Entry, Nexus and Sentri are also eligible for TSA PreCheck screening.

Quick Tips: 

  • Enroll in Global Entry instead ($100 US) – Several credit cards in US offer Global Entry fee credits
  • Nexus ($50 US) comes with expedited immigration in both US and Canada, along with TSA PreCheck and Global Entry privileges. Better bang for your buck, imo.

ORD flyer February 21, 2019 - 6:48 pm

I travel through ORD and this doesn’t help. At Terminal 5 (international), where these airlines are, there is no Preccheck option. None whatsoever! There is one security checkpoint, through which EVERYONE is funneled. Your precheck, global entry etc. status means nothing.
