When it comes to flying, going through airport security can feel stressful, especially as the clock counts down to your flight. Fortunately, by signing up for TSA PreCheck, your security experience will become faster and less stressful than ever before. Here are ways that you can get TSA PreCheck for free, thereby optimizing your airport experience at no extra cost.

Get The Right Credit Card

Many credit cards actually offer a reimbursement for the application fee for TSA PreCheck. From cards with cheaper annual fees, such as the United Explorer Credit Card to cards with premium benefits such as the Mastercard Gold Credit Card, and even business credit cards including the Capital One Venture X Business Card.

Loyalty Programs

Some airline loyalty programs allow you to put your air miles toward the application fee for TSA PreCheck. These include the likes of United MileagePlus and IHG One Rewards. This way, you forego the application fee while also avoiding paying the fees for a new credit card if you don’t already have one.

Traveling With Kids

Depending on their age, you can bring your kids through TSA PreCheck with you so long as you have signed up, even if they are not subscribed. Children aged 12 years and under are permitted to join you in TSA PreCheck, while those aged 17 or under may be allowed if the TSA PreCheck indicator appears on their boarding pass.

As many travelers know, airlines and airport security are strict when it comes to monitoring passengers’ baggage and ensuring that they follow all travel guidelines. Given the many security concerns that exist the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) makes it their duty to ensure that security protocols are standardized and enforced. Still, some packing guidelines prove confusing to travelers. Here are some of the most common items that travelers ask the TSA about, as well as whether or not you can travel with them.

Razors

While razors are essential for keeping clean-shaven, the fact that they consist of a blade does pose a security risk. According to the TSA, however, some razors are permitted while others are not. Electric razors generally are allowed in carry-on bags, however, traditional blades generally must go into your checked baggage.

Deodorant

Given that deodorant can come in many forms, including spray, roll-on, and gel, some travellers are unsure if it is permitted because of liquid restrictions. Ultimately, the TSA explained that all deodorants are treated like liquids, so make sure that each bottle you bring in your carry-on bag meet liquid requirements. Otherwise, pack them in your checked bags.

Makeup

Solid and powder makeup don’t face any restrictions. Liquid makeup, however, follows the same guidelines as other liquids, so make sure they’re packed in bottles that meet liquid requirements.

The Transportation Security Administration, TSA, just released winter travel tips to help Americans fly over the holiday season during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of us haven’t flown in months, which can make traveling during this stressful time even more stressful. These tips will make traveling safer and more efficient during the holiday rush.

Tip 1: Download the Free MyTSA App

Before heading to the airport, download the app to be sure of what you can and can’t bring, information on flight delays, and where to find TSA PreCheck lanes.

Tip 2: Enroll in TSA PreCheck

The PreCheck program will help travelers get through security quicker and create fewer touchpoints because participants won’t have to remove liquids or electronics from their bags or remove their shoes, belts, and jackets.

Tip 3: Don’t Wrap Gifts

Instead of wrapping gifts, put them in gift bags because if they set off alarms, they will have to be unwrapped to see what the package contains.

Tip 4: Don’t Forget Your Mask

Like other things in the country, masks are required in airports and airlines. While you may be asked to remove your mask quickly so officers can verify your identity, expect to social distance while waiting in lines.

Tip 5: Pack the Essentials

In addition to masks, other essentials include hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes. You can also bring up to 12 ounces of hand sanitizer, but all other liquids are still limited to 3.4 ounces. Make sure you also come with extra masks.
