Today, TSA announced an addition of 5 new airlines. This brings the total of participating airlines to 72 airlines with TSA Precheck clearance. While this is good news, it doesn’t always translate to the regular PreCheck experience you get with the US airlines. But, at least you now have it with some new airlines, though only one is one that I am excited about.

Some of these are airlines that may have just been introduced to you by the list but there are plenty of other major airlines that are great to have TSA PreCheck with. But, keep in mind that some of the international terminals at major US airports are not actually open with TSA PreCheck lines all the time (or at all). I have found this to happen several times and it certainly is a disappointment when you are thinking you can breeze through the TSA line.
How to Get TSA Precheck for Free
TSA Precheck seems to be the favorite perk for credit card issuers with at least 17 credit cards (currently available to customers) offering it.
