Procedure to add TSA Precheck to Southwest

A Step-by-Step Guide: Adding TSA Precheck to Southwest Airlines

Hey everyone,

I recently enrolled in the TSA Precheck program and wanted to share how to add it to your Southwest Airlines reservations for those who may be interested. Here's a simple step-by-step guide:

1. Enroll in TSA Precheck: Start by enrolling in the TSA Precheck program through the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) website. You'll need to complete an online application and schedule an in-person appointment at a TSA enrollment center.

2. Complete the Enrollment Process: At your appointment, you'll undergo a brief interview, provide necessary documentation, and undergo a background check and fingerprinting. Once approved, you'll receive a Known Traveler Number (KTN) via email or mail.

3. Log in to Your Southwest Account: Next, log in to your Southwest Airlines Rapid Rewards account on their official website.

4. Navigate to "My Account" or "My Trips": Once logged in, navigate to the "My Account" or "My Trips" section.

5. Locate Your Upcoming Flight: Find your upcoming flight in the list of reservations.

6. Add Your Known Traveler Number (KTN): Select the option to add your Known Traveler Number to your profile. This step ensures that TSA Precheck will be included on your boarding pass for eligible flights.

7. Alternatively, Provide Your KTN During Booking: If you're booking a new flight, you can also provide your Known Traveler Number (KTN) during the booking process over the phone or at the airport counter.

By following these steps, you'll be able to add TSA Precheck to your Southwest Airlines reservations and enjoy expedited security screening at participating airports. This means you can breeze through security lines without removing your shoes, belts, or light jackets, and leave laptops and compliant liquids in your carry-on bags. It's a time-saving perk that makes traveling with Southwest even more convenient!

Hope this helps, and happy travels!
