TSA PreCheck
- 1: Add your Known Traveler Number (KTN) to your reservation when purchasing your ticket. (This will put a TSA PreCheck indicator on your boarding pass and another special indicator in the barcode.)
- 2: Let the TSA agent scan your pass at the first checkpoint.
- 3: Go to the expedited PreCheck line, as directed by the TSA agent.
- 4: Go through security without removing your belt, shoes, laptop, liquids or light jacket.
Global Entry
- 1: Proceed to a designated Global Entry kiosk upon arrival at the airport.
- 2: Scan your passport or permanent resident card at the kiosk.
- 3: Scan your fingerprints or use the kiosk’s biometric facial recognition.
- 4: Follow the kiosk prompts to declare any goods or cash that you’re bringing back into the country.
- 5: Take your receipt and show it to the CBP officer at the exit as you leave customs.
Note: To use TSA PreCheck, you’ll need to fly on an airline that participates in the program. All of the major U.S. airlines currently take part in the program; you can check for other airlines on the TSA’s list of participating airlines.
