American Airlines and TSA expand TSA PreCheck Touchless ID to all of American’s hubs
American Airlines, in partnership with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), today announced TSA PreCheck Touchless ID is available at all of American’s hub airports, giving eligible AAdvantage members a more streamlined, touchless experience at TSA security checkpoints.
Customers traveling through Charlotte (CLT), Chicago (ORD), Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW), Los Angeles (LAX), Miami (MIA), New York (JFK and LGA), Philadelphia (PHL), Phoenix (PHX) and Washington, D.C. (DCA), can verify their identity using secure facial-matching technology without presenting a physical ID or boarding pass. In addition to American’s hubs, the program is available at 60 U.S. airports where the airline operates.
A faster, more seamless checkpoint experience
TSA PreCheck Touchless ID uses advanced technology to compare a customer’s live image to photos they previously provided to the U.S. government, such as those in a passport, Global Entry or a visa. Once the identity is confirmed, customers can move through security more quickly and access an expedited checkpoint lane.
“Expanding TSA PreCheck Touchless ID across our hub network is an important step in our commitment to creating a more seamless and efficient travel experience,” said American’s Chief Operating Officer David Seymour. “Our customers value speed, convenience and choice, and this partnership with TSA delivers all three.”
A secure, voluntary program
Participation in TSA PreCheck Touchless ID is voluntary, and TSA manages all biometric data. Eligible AAdvantage members who choose to participate can expect:
- A faster, touchless identity verification process
- Access to an expedited security lane
- A smoother, more predictable checkpoint experience
To opt in to TSA PreCheck Touchless ID with American, customers can:
- Navigate to the “Information and password” section of the account settings in their AAdvantage profile on the American app or website.
- Scroll to “Secure traveler,” and save both their Known Traveler Number (KTN) and valid passport details.
- Verify that the full name, date of birth and passport number in their AAdvantage® profile matches the same information on their passport.
- Check the box to opt in to “TSA PreCheck Touchless ID.”
American Airlines and the TSA will continue working together to expand the program to additional airports in the months ahead, with a focus on delivering a consistent, streamlined experience across the travel journey.
