The $77 Investment That Will Change Your Next Amarillo Flight Forever

When it comes to traveling in and out of Amarillo, we like to make it as simple as possible. I mean, there are things you can control and things you can't. Waiting in line for a long time is one of those things you need to change.

I know not all waiting in line can be eliminated, but the more you can cut down, the better. That is why having TSA Precheck can really be a game-changer. We discovered that when we were traveling back from Denver recently.

The Security Shortcut: Why TSA PreCheck is a Game-Changer

I had the PreCheck; my daughter did not. I got to take my granddaughter to a totally different side of the airport and get us both through security. We then had to wait for my daughter. Her experience was not as fast and painless as ours.

She decided right then, and there she was going to attend the next TSA Precheck event, and she did. Since then, the experience has been nice for all of us. We didn't have to split up. We all got through at the same time. We have used it traveling to and from Dallas and Phoenix, and it has always saved us a headache.

There is another TSA Precheck event happening at Rick Husband International Airport. The quick interview process and paperwork filing are well worth the effort. Even the $76.75 fee that allows you stress-free travel for five years is so worth the expense.

The Perks of PreCheck: Shoes On, Laptops In, Stress Out

If you want to travel and not take off your shoes, light jacket, or belt, and keep that laptop in the bag along with your carry-on liquid this is your chance. Pick your interview time and fill out the application ahead of time to make it even easier.

The best part is you will get your Known Traveler Number (KTN) in as little as three to five days. So you will be ready to take off with a lot less stress.

The next event in Amarillo is coming up March 24-27 from 9 am - 5 pm with a noon lunch break each day. Hurry and schedule a time before the calendar fills up.
