Lufthansa supports TSA PreCheck for eligible flights, but the process must be done correctly to enjoy the benefits. This guide explains everything step by step in a clear and easy way.

## 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.

## Requirements To Use TSA PreCheck With Lufthansa

You must be approved for TSA PreCheck by the US government
You must have a valid Known Traveler Number

If any of these details are incorrect TSA PreCheck may not appear on your boarding pass.

## What Is A Known Traveler Number

A Known Traveler Number is a unique number given to you after TSA PreCheck approval. This number connects your identity with your trusted traveler status. Airlines like Lufthansa use this number to notify TSA that you are eligible for PreCheck screening.

Random security selection by TSA

Always double check your details to avoid these issues.

Avoid nicknames or extra spaces
Enter the Known Traveler Number carefully
Add TSA PreCheck at least 24 hours before departure
Check your boarding pass early

These steps help ensure smooth processing and reduce last minute stress.

## Can TSA PreCheck Be Added After Check In

In some cases TSA PreCheck cannot be added after check in is completed. It is best to add your Known Traveler Number before checking in online or at the airport. If you already checked in ask a Lufthansa agent if changes are still possible.

## 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

Many travelers confuse TSA PreCheck with Global Entry. Global Entry includes TSA PreCheck benefits but also provides faster immigration clearance when returning to the United States from international travel. If you have Global Entry your Known Traveler Number can also be used for TSA PreCheck on Lufthansa flights.
