Gateside by TSA Precheck
TSA PreCheck has launched a 'Gateside' program allowing non-travelers to access airport terminal areas beyond security for dining, shopping, or meeting passengers. The program is currently available at select airports and requires an application process using a Known Traveler Number.
Why it matters
This policy change alters airport security dynamics and provides new convenience for travelers and their families, potentially increasing airport revenue.
Those who enjoy TSA PreCheck® benefits can be at the gate for hellos and goodbyes, with shopping and dining beyond the TSA checkpoint.
The Golden Age of Travel is taking off. Gateside by TSA PreCheck provides members with access to the terminal beyond airport security, even when they aren’t flying. Just use your KTN to apply and use the same dedicated TSA PreCheck lanes for a smoother entry. As an exclusive benefit for our most trusted travelers, this new program makes it easier to return to the gate for welcomes and send-offs, meet friends during a layover, and enjoy dining and shopping along the way, bringing back the moments that once defined air travel.
TSA PreCheck members and those with Known Traveler Numbers (KTNs).
Apply 1-3 days before your planned visit.
Children are eligible to visit but must be entered on their parent/guardian’s reservation.
