TSA PreCheck additions: SIA, Copa and Turkish among new airlines
The TSA’s PreCheck program continues to expand to more airlines. The agency announced Thursday that seven airlines have been added. The newly eligible carriers – a mix of big and small, foreign and domestic – are Copa Airlines, Dominican Wings, InterCaribbean Airways, Silver Airways, Singapore Airlines, Swift Air and Turkish Airlines. The additions grow the total number of carriers eligible for PreCheck to 37. PreCheck, which costs $85 for a five-year membership, gives approved passengers access to expedited security lanes at more than 180 US airports. Travellers using those lanes can keep their shoes and light jackets on at airport checkpoints. Laptops and liquids (provided they meet TSA guidelines) can remain in carry-on bags. Travelers can join the program by providing background information and fingerprints for background check.<br/>
