To add TSA PreCheck to the American Airlines app, open the app, go to your profile, select “Travel Preferences,” and input your Known Traveler Number (KTN) in the TSA PreCheck section.
Ensure that you have completed the TSA PreCheck application process and received your KTN before attempting to add it to the app.
Once your KTN is entered, it should automatically link to your reservations. This helps you enjoy expedited security screening at participating airports.
If you’re having trouble, double-check that your KTN is correct and matches the name on your reservation.
You can also reach out to American Airlines customer service for assistance if needed.
Having TSA PreCheck linked in your app makes travel smoother and faster.
Make sure to keep your app updated to access the latest features and improvements.
Check your profile regularly to confirm your KTN is still active and correctly linked.
This can help avoid any last-minute issues before your flight.
Stay informed about any changes to TSA PreCheck policies that may affect your travel plans.
Regular updates from American Airlines can help keep your travel experience seamless.
