TSA PRECHECK:

• To become a PreCheck passenger, travelers can apply online, then make an appointment at one of 26 airports or a nearby federal office, pay $85 (non-refundable), wait for the approval, and get photographed and fingerprinted.
  
  Once they receive a Known Traveler Number and ID card in the mail, they’re on their way to shoes-on passage through shorter and faster security lines before boarding domestic flights at 118 U.S. airports.
  
  PreCheck partner airlines include: Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, Sun Country Airlines, United Airlines, US Airways, and Virgin America
  
  Other programs designed to facilitate passenger movement include the federal Global Entry Program, which expedites re-entry into the U.S. for pre-screened U.S. citizens; the Nexus and Sentri programs, which speed up U.S. entry from Canada and Mexico, and Pre-Check.

Traveling During Covid & Post-Covid

A few things to keep in mind when traveling while making sure to follow the current CDC regulations related to Covid-19.

1. Get vaccinated before traveling & be prepared to provide proof of vaccine prior to your flight.
2. If you are not vaccinated, as a precaution, complete a Covid-19 test to provide a " NEGATIVE" test result to the airline 72 hours before any flight.
3. Bring a mask with you for your flight(s), along with hand sanitizer & wipes.
4. Also remember to maintain social distancing in TSA lines, waiting for flights, baggage claim, and/or restrooms.

We hope these few tips help you prepare for your traveling experience.
