American Airlines AAdvantage members can soon use a streamlined Transportation Security Administration airport security checkpoint process through TSA PreCheck Touchless ID.
On Thursday, the Fort Worth, Texas-based airline said eligible members who choose to enroll can easily move through security in select airports as part of its partnership with the TSA. After an identity match compares a customer’s image to their existing passport photo, the customer can 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,” Kim Cisek, American’s Vice President of Customer Experience, said in an announcement. “Introducing this option will help customers move more seamlessly from the airport lobby through TSA security to enjoy the next step in their travel.”
