American Airlines loyalty members to get streamlined TSA security screening
American Airlines AAdvantage loyalty members will soon enjoy a streamlined service at TSA airport security checkpoints.
Eligible AAdvantage members can soon make use of TSA PreCheck Touchless ID.
In the months ahead, eligible members who choose to enroll will be able to move through security in select airports easier as part of the airline’s partnership with TSA.
After an identity match compares a customer’s image to their existing passport photo, the customer will be able to move through the security checkpoint hands-free.
“We want to give our customers an easy experience while they move through every point of their travel journey, and the airport is a big part of that,” said Kim Cisek, American’s VP of Customer Experience.
“Introducing this option will help customers move more seamlessly from the airport lobby through TSA security.”
Before travel, AAdvantage members will be prompted to opt in by providing their AAdvantage number, passport number and Known Traveler Number.
Members will only have to renew enrollment once per year and can opt out at any time.
AAdvantage members will receive more information about launch location and timing in the future.
