Get Yourself TSA Prechecked for the New Year in Amarillo
Travelers in Amarillo have another chance to make trips easier in the new year. Have you gone through the process of getting TSA prechecked? If not you are going to get another chance coming up in early January.
Rick Husband International Airport is going to host another TSA Precheck event from January 7th through the 10th. It's time to schedule your appointment now to make life easier. I went through the process more than five years ago and it is worth every penny of the $78 it costs you for five years.
If you have the precheck it really speeds up the process at the airport. There are a lot of things you don't have to do at the airport once you go through the screening. It's a beautiful thing.
Enrolled members do not need to remove shoes, laptops, 3-1-1 liquids, belts, or light jackets. They also access TSA PreCheck dedicated screening lanes at over 200 participating U.S. airports nationwide.
I know what you are thinking, it's not necessary when you are flying out of Rick Husband Airport. That might be true but travelling back from any other location can really help you. I have used it flying out of Denver, Indianapolis, Dallas, and Phoenix twice.
All of those times looking at the regular TSA screening lines and the precheck I was very thankful to have gone through the process. It saved my time and my patience. I was traveling with my daughter, who wasn't prechecked so I took her infant child through line with me.
My daughter learned her lesson and has now acquired the TSA precheck for herself. If you have gone through the process your kids automatically can go through with you. Trust me that makes it so worth it.
So now is the time. Start the application process HERE, that will save you time at your appointment. Schedule your appointment HERE. Make sure you bring everything to your appointment:
The in-person enrollment requires that applicants provide proof of identity, proof of citizenship, fingerprints and a photo IDEMIA offers TSA PreCheck enrollment for $78 and if approved, travelers get a five-year membership with the program.
If you do anything for yourself next year make sure you get TSA Prechecked. I promise you it is worth it.
