TSA PreCheck Adds 3 New Airlines

Airport Security in the United States is nothing more than a theatrical performance. The coordination and orchestration sometimes come together in magnificent fashion where there are no wait times or the show comes crashing down with 30+ minute wait that rivals one of Dante’s circles of hell. Thankfully, the TSA recognized a long time ago that not every passenger needed to be treated to the same and they created TSA PreCheck. Since its inception in 2011 TSA PreCheck has been worth the cost and has been one of the best credit card reimbursements benefits. With TSA PreCheck you don’t need to take off your shoes, remove your liquids under 3 oz, or your laptop.

On Thursday, the Transportation Security Administration announced that three new airlines that are joining the PreCheck program.

  • Norwegian Air
  • Icelandair
  • Via Airlines – Effective November 1, 2018

TSA PreCheck now has a total of 56 participating airlines:

Aeromexico Aruba Airlines Contour Aviation Hawaiian Airlines Miami Air International Southern Airways Express Thomas Cook Airlines (UK)
Air Canada Avianca Copa Airlines Icelandair Norwegian Air Southwest Airlines Turkish Airlines
Air France Boutique Airlines Delta Air Lines InterCaribbean Airways Philippine Airlines Spirit Airlines United Airlines
Air Serbia British Airways Dominican Wings JetBlue Airways Porter Airlines Sun Country Airlines Via Airlines
Alaska Airlines Brussels Airlines Emirates Key Lime Air Scandinavian Airlines Sunwing Airlines Virgin Atlantic
All Nippon Airways Cape Air Ethiad Airways KLM Royal Dutch Airways Seabourne Airlines Swiss International Air Lines WestJet
Allegiant Air Cathay Pacific Airlines Finnair Korean Air Silver Airways Swift Air World Atlantic
American Airlines Condor Airlines Frontier Airlines Lufthansa Singapore Airlines Thomas Cook Airlines (Scandinavian) Xtra Airways

Many US-based credit cards off Global Entry/TSA PreCheck reimbursements. Be sure to sign up with one of those cards so you can enjoy a less stressful airport visit for free.
