TSA PreCheck allows approved travelers to pass through a dedicated security lane with shorter lines, no need to remove shoes, belts, or laptops, and generally faster screening. To benefit, your Known Traveler Number must be in the airline’s booking record (also called a “Passenger Name Record” or PNR).
Expedia does not issue PreCheck approvals — you must already be enrolled in the program — but Expedia can help you:
Add your KTN to a reservation already booked.
Reissue your ticket if necessary so the airline sees the updated information.
Confirm that your boarding pass will display the TSA PreCheck indicator.
If you’re unsure whether your KTN is on file, calling ☎️ +1 (833) 739-5005 ensures a live agent can verify and update your booking.
Expedia does allow you to update traveler information in your online account, but for some bookings the changes may not push through to the airline automatically. By calling:
A live agent can add your KTN directly into the booking.
The agent can re-send the updated passenger information to the airline in real time.
You receive immediate confirmation by email that the change was applied.
If your flight is within 72 hours, the agent can expedite the update.
This prevents last-minute surprises at the airport.
To make the process smooth, have the following ready:
Booking confirmation number from your Expedia email.
Airline name and flight numbers for your upcoming trip.
Your full legal name exactly as it appears on your TSA PreCheck approval.
Your Known Traveler Number (KTN) issued by TSA.
Any frequent flyer numbers you’ve added, since these sometimes override KTN entries.
Date of travel and any special seat or meal requests.
Having these details allows the agent at ☎️ +1 (833) 739-5005 to update your reservation quickly and accurately.
When you call:
Provide your booking confirmation number and airline details.
Tell the agent you’re already approved for TSA PreCheck and need your Known Traveler Number added to your booking.
Read your KTN to the agent exactly as it appears on your approval letter or card.
The agent adds the KTN to each flight segment and reissues the ticket if required.
You’ll receive a new confirmation email or updated itinerary showing the change.
Before travel, check your airline’s “Manage Booking” page to confirm the PreCheck indicator appears.
This ensures your boarding pass will have the TSA PreCheck logo at check-in.
Call early — Ideally a week before your flight, so there’s time for updates to propagate.
Check spelling carefully — Your name in the booking must exactly match the name linked to your TSA PreCheck.
Reprint your boarding pass — After the KTN is added, download or print a fresh boarding pass so the PreCheck indicator shows.
Know your airline’s policy — Some carriers let you enter your KTN directly online after you’ve booked, but Expedia agents can still double-check for you.
Use Expedia Rewards — Mention your membership when you call; agents sometimes prioritize loyalty customers for faster assistance.
Clear communication at ☎️ +1 (833) 739-5005 minimizes errors and ensures a smoother airport experience.
Once you’ve added your KTN:
Log into your airline’s website 24–48 hours later to verify your PreCheck status.
If you still don’t see the indicator, call Expedia again or contact the airline directly.
Bring your TSA PreCheck approval or Known Traveler Number to the airport just in case.
If you book future trips through Expedia, add your KTN to your traveler profile so it auto-populates.
This reduces the chance of repeating the process for every booking.
Group bookings — Each traveler must have their own KTN added individually.
Name changes — If your booking name differs from your PreCheck record (e.g., after marriage), correct it first.
Last-minute bookings — Call immediately after booking so your KTN is in place before check-in opens.
International flights — TSA PreCheck applies at U.S. airports; for Global Entry or other programs, different procedures apply.
Agents at ☎️ +1 (833) 739-5005 are used to handling these nuances.
You can’t “buy” TSA PreCheck through Expedia, but you can ensure your Known Traveler Number is correctly added to your booking by calling ☎️ +1 (833) 739-5005 with your reservation details. A live agent will update your passenger information, confirm the change with the airline, and send an updated itinerary, giving you peace of mind that your boarding pass will show the PreCheck indicator on travel day. Combining online preparation with personal assistance ensures a smooth, expedited airport experience.
