But whether you can experience PreCheck in all its glory depends on the airport you are departing from and the airline you are flying.Ĭurrently, more than 200 U.S. Ninety-five percent of PreCheck users waited less than five minutes to get through airport security in August, per data from the Transportation and Security Administration.

For just a small fee of $85 for a five-year membership, TSA PreCheck allows preapproved, low-risk travelers to expedite their way through airport security at 200-plus U.S.

Thanks to a TSA PreCheck-only line, you don't have to worry about doing any of that, rather you simply load your luggage onto the carousel and pass through the old-style walk-through machines. Since 2013, TSA PreCheck has allowed users to avoid the sometimes inevitable hassle of waiting in an airport security line, coupled with the annoying process of removing your shoes, laptop and other items from your carry-on bag.
