TSA is letting PreCheck members past airport security without a plane ticket
The Gateside by TSA PreCheck program is active at 13 airports and allows eligible visitors to shop, dine, and meet passengers at the gate
A new TSA initiative, called Gateside, allows travelers to bypass airport security without a plane ticket at select airports across the United States. This program is aimed at providing a convenient option for those wanting to spend time with friends, shop, or see off loved ones at the gate. To start, 13 airports will participate, including major hubs like Dallas/Fort Worth International, Los Angeles International, and Las Vegas Harry Reid International.
Other participating airports are Clinton National in Arkansas, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County in Michigan, and several others. The TSA PreCheck and other trusted traveler program members can apply for a Gateside pass through their mobile devices, showing their approved status and ID to a TSA officer upon arrival. The program is expected to expand to more airports in the future.
Gateside visitors are subject to the same airport code of conduct rules as ticketed passengers and can use the expedited PreCheck security lanes. The program is free, and passes are valid for one day, allowing for re-entry on that day.
