American Airlines enhances TSA Precheck with touchless ID for loyalty members
American Airlines has begun offering a streamlined process at TSA security checkpoints for loyalty program members using TSA Precheck Touchless ID.
The program is available at Reagan Washington National, New York LaGuardia, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta and Salt Lake City airports. American said expansion will continue in the coming months, with a focus on hub airports.
After an identity match compares a customer's image to photos they previously provided to the government, the customer will be able to move through security faster, American said.
Before travel, AAdvantage members will be prompted to opt in by providing their AAdvantage number, valid passport information and Known Traveler Number (KTN). Members can opt in anytime in their AAdvantage profile on American's website and must renew enrollment once per year.
