“With the busy summer travel season right around the corner, this TSA PreCheck® enrollment opportunity couldn’t come at a better time for travelers hoping to avoid long airport lines as they plan for travel this summer and beyond,” said Ragina C. Ali, AAA Mid-Atlantic spokesperson.

TSA PreCheck® enables identified, low-risk air travelers to enjoy an expedited and efficient security screening experience. If approved, travelers receive a five-year membership with the program. The program is open to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals and lawful permanent residents. AAA members as well as the general public are welcome to participate in the screening event.

Enrolled members do not need to remove shoes, laptops, 3-1-1 liquids, belts or light jackets. They are able to access TSA PreCheck® dedicated screening lanes at over 200 participating U.S. airports nationwide.

AAA travel experts will also be on hand at these events to help book flights, hotels, cruises or other travel arrangements, provide travel planning resources, and offer a variety of luggage and other travel accessories to make trips more convenient and enjoyable.
