Gateside by TSA PreCheck: One More Reason to Get PreCheck 🎉

If you have TSA PreCheck — or you've been on the fence about getting it — here's one more reason to sign up. ✈️

The new Gateside by TSA PreCheck program lets approved travelers (anyone with TSA PreCheck or a Known Traveler Number) walk loved ones to the gate, greet them when they land, or meet up with friends inside the airport during a layover. No boarding pass required. 🙌

And the best part? It's completely free for TSA PreCheck members.

Where It's Available

The program has launched at 13 airports nationwide, with more expected to join soon:

• Mesa Gateway Airport (AZA) – Arizona
• John Glenn Columbus International Airport (CMH) – Ohio
• Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) – Texas
• Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) – Michigan
• Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport (ICT) – Kansas
• Indianapolis International Airport (IND) – Indiana
• Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) – Nevada
• Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) – California
• Bill and Hillary Clinton National Airport (LIT) – Arkansas
• Will Rogers International Airport (OKC) – Oklahoma
• Eppley Airfield (OMA) – Nebraska
• San Diego International Airport (SAN) – California
• Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) – Utah

Keep in mind availability may be limited during peak travel times. 🕐 TSA Precheck launched touchless ID back in March at some airports. 

How to Apply

You'll need to apply for approval a few days before you want to use it. Here's the process:

1. Click Apply on the TSA PreCheck website
2. Log in to your Login.gov account
3. Enter your personal information
4. Submit your request
5. Be ready to show your approval at the TSA PreCheck checkpoint

👶 Traveling with kids? You can bring them along — just add them when you apply.

A couple of things to note: the number of passes issued per day is limited, and the personal info on your application needs to match your TSA PreCheck info exactly.

Don't Have TSA PreCheck Yet?

Signing up on your own costs $85, or $120 if you add Global Entry. But here's a smarter move — several credit cards give you this as a free credit. My favorites: 💳

• Capital One Venture X — Read about this card here Current offer: 75,000 bonus points after $4,000 in spend, $395 annual fee.
• Chase Sapphire Preferred — Read about this card here. Current offer: 75,000 bonus points after $5,000 in spend, $95 annual fee.

Either card pays for the PreCheck credit and then some, so it's a nice two-for-one if you're already planning to apply. ✨
