You can add your Known Traveler Number (KTN) to American Airlines by logging into your AAdvantage account and updating your profile information.
First, go to the American Airlines website and sign in to your AAdvantage account. If you don’t have an account, you’ll need to create one.
Once you’re logged in, navigate to the “Profile” section. Here, you can find the option to update your personal information.
Look for the field labeled “Known Traveler Number” or “KTN.” Enter your KTN there.
Make sure to double-check that you’ve inputted your number correctly to avoid any issues when booking flights.
After entering your KTN, save the changes. It may take a few moments for the update to be reflected in your account.
When making future reservations, your KTN will be automatically applied to your bookings. This ensures you can enjoy TSA PreCheck benefits without hassle.
If you encounter any issues, consider reaching out to American Airlines customer service for assistance. They can help you ensure your KTN is properly linked to your account.
