TSA PreCheck is a program offered by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) in the United States that allows eligible passengers to experience expedited security screening at participating airports. This program allows travelers to enjoy the convenience of shorter lines, no need to remove shoes, liquids, laptops, belts, and light jackets during security checks. While TSA PreCheck is primarily focused on domestic flights within the United States, it also extends its benefits to certain international airlines, including Lufthansa.

If you are enrolled in TSA PreCheck and planning to travel on Lufthansa, you will be glad to know that you can still enjoy the benefits of expedited security screening. Lufthansa is one of the partner airlines that participate in the TSA PreCheck program, which means that eligible passengers can go through a dedicated TSA PreCheck lane at the security checkpoint. This allows for a smoother and more efficient process, saving you time and enhancing your overall travel experience.
