## Understanding TSA PreCheck
TSA PreCheck is a program run by the Transportation Security Administration in the United States. It allows approved travelers to use faster security lanes at participating airports. With TSA PreCheck, passengers usually do not need to remove shoes belts laptops or liquids from their bags. This saves time and reduces stress during airport security checks.
## Does Lufthansa Support TSA PreCheck
Yes Lufthansa supports TSA PreCheck for eligible flights that depart from airports within the United States. The benefit applies only when traveling on Lufthansa operated flights or Lufthansa marketed flights where TSA PreCheck is supported.
It is important to understand that TSA PreCheck is available only for departures from US airports. If your journey starts outside the United States you will not see TSA PreCheck on your boarding pass.

## Is TSA PreCheck Guaranteed On Every Flight
TSA PreCheck is not guaranteed on every flight. Even eligible travelers may occasionally be directed to standard security lanes due to security protocols. This is normal and does not mean your TSA PreCheck status is inactive.
## Difference Between TSA PreCheck And Global Entry
