American Airlines AAdvantage® members will soon enjoy a streamlined process at Transportation Security Administration (TSA) airport security checkpoints through TSA PreCheck® Touchless ID.

In the months ahead, eligible members who choose to enroll will be able to move through security in select airports with ease as part of the airline’s partnership with TSA. After an identity match compares a customer’s image to their existing passport photo, the customer will be able to move through the security checkpoint hands-free.

“We want to give our customers an easy experience while they move through every point of their travel journey, and the airport is a big part of that,” said Kim Cisek, American’s Vice President of Customer Experience. “Introducing this option will help customers move more seamlessly from the airport lobby through TSA security to enjoy the next step in their travel.”

Making travel easier for AAdvantage members

Before travel, AAdvantage® members will be prompted to opt in by providing the following to confirm their eligibility:

• AAdvantage® number
• Valid U.S. passport information
• Known Traveler Number (KTN)

Members will only have to renew enrollment once per year and can opt out at any time. AAdvantage® members will receive more information about launch location and timing in the future.
