How to Add TSA PreCheck to United Airlines

call : +1-888-449-3560  Adding TSA PreCheck to a United Airlines reservation can make the airport security process more convenient for eligible travelers. TSA PreCheck allows approved travelers to use dedicated security screening lanes at participating airports. To receive TSA PreCheck benefits, your Known Traveler Number, or KTN, must be correctly entered in your United Airlines reservation, and the TSA PreCheck indicator must appear on your boarding pass.  

What Is a Known Traveler Number

A Known Traveler Number is the identification number assigned to eligible members of TSA PreCheck and certain other Trusted Traveler programs. If you are already enrolled, keep your KTN available before updating your United Airlines reservation.

It is also important that the passenger information in your reservation matches the information associated with your Trusted Traveler membership. Differences in your name or other identifying details can prevent the TSA PreCheck indicator from appearing.

How to Add TSA PreCheck to United Airlines

Step 1: Find Your KTN

Before making any changes, locate your Known Traveler Number. If you participate in an eligible Trusted Traveler program, use the appropriate membership number as your KTN.

Make sure you enter the correct number rather than your United MileagePlus number or passport number.

Step 2: Open Your United Reservation

Visit the official United Airlines website or open the United mobile app. Sign in to your MileagePlus account if your reservation is connected to your account. You can also retrieve your trip using your United confirmation number and passenger information. 

Step 3: Add Your Known Traveler Number

Open your passenger or traveler information and look for the section related to security information, travel documents, or Known Traveler Number. Enter your KTN carefully and save the updated information.

If you have multiple passengers on the same reservation, make sure the KTN is entered for the correct eligible traveler. A KTN should not be copied into another passenger's profile unless it belongs to that person.

Step 4: Check Your Personal Details

Review your first name, middle name if applicable, last name, and date of birth. The information should match your TSA PreCheck enrollment record. Even a small difference can cause problems with TSA PreCheck eligibility being recognized.

Step 5: Check In and Review Your Boarding Pass

After updating the reservation, complete United's check-in process when available. Review your boarding pass carefully. The TSA PreCheck indicator should be visible if you have been approved for PreCheck on that trip.

Simply having an active TSA PreCheck membership does not mean you can automatically enter the PreCheck lane. TSA states that travelers need a valid boarding pass displaying the TSA PreCheck indicator.  

What If TSA PreCheck Does Not Appear?

If the indicator is missing from your United Airlines boarding pass, first check your KTN and passenger information. Confirm that your TSA PreCheck membership is active and that the correct KTN was entered.

If everything appears correct but the indicator is still missing, contact United Airlines for help with your reservation. For questions about your KTN, TSA PreCheck eligibility, or why the indicator is not appearing, TSA recommends contacting its official support resources
