TSAPreCHeck

I saw the story about her sneaking onto a transatlantic United flight and not being noticed until later. Apparently this isn’t even the first time she’s done something like this. What I don’t get is how someone can repeatedly get through security and onto a plane without a valid...

I’m an international student with a UK passport that’s currently being renewed. It just arrived in the UK, so I probably won’t get it back before I’m supposed to travel. I’m planning to fly domestically from New York to Texas around March 13, but I likely won’t have my passport...

Last week I asked what frustrates people most about travel and the answer was basically… other travelers who aren’t prepared. So I’ve been thinking. What if airports had a prep table before the security line with very clear signage specific to that checkpoint? Laptops out or...

I have a flight departing at 9:30 AM on Thursday from JFK Terminal 8 and I’m trying to get an idea of what to expect with TSA PreCheck. For anyone who went through security there this morning, how bad were the lines? Just trying to figure out how early I should plan to arrive.

This is my first time at an airport and I am traveling alone, so I am a bit nervous. I already went through TSA and now I am sitting at my gate, but nobody has scanned my ticket yet. Do I need to go to a desk before boarding time to get it scanned? Or does that happen later? My...

First time flying out of JFK Terminal 7 and a bit confused by what I’m seeing online. Our plan is to fly into Newark (EWR), take an Uber to JFK, and then depart internationally from Terminal 7. We usually use LaGuardia, so both of these airports are new to us. When checking wait...

I’m flying Athens to JFK (arriving Terminal 4) and then connecting to a domestic flight to Chicago from the same terminal. The layover is 1 hour 25 minutes. No checked bags, and I have Global Entry and TSA PreCheck. Assuming the flight lands on time, I’m hoping that helps speed...

Flying international with my parents soon and was hoping to bring them into the Sapphire Lounge in Terminal 4 before departure. Problem is… they switched to a Terminal 8 flight because it was like $10 cheaper 🙃 They don’t have PreCheck or Clear, so going through security twice...
