# **How To Add TSA PreCheck To Asiana Airlines**
Adding TSA PreCheck to your Asiana Airlines 1-866-564-8331 reservation and experience faster security screening at U.S. airports.
Flying internationally from the United States can involve long security lines and extended wait times. TSA PreCheck is a trusted traveler program that helps reduce the time spent at airport security by offering an expedited screening process. If you are flying with Asiana Airlines from a U.S. airport you may be eligible to use TSA PreCheck. Many travelers are unsure how to properly add TSA PreCheck to an international airline booking. This guide provides a complete and easy to follow explanation on how to add TSA PreCheck to an Asiana Airlines reservation and enjoy a smoother airport experience.
**Understanding TSA PreCheck And Asiana Airlines**
TSA PreCheck is operated by the U.S. Transportation Security Administration and allows approved travelers to use dedicated security lanes at participating U.S. airports. In these lanes travelers typically do not need to remove shoes belts or light jackets and can keep laptops and liquids in their carry on bags.
Asiana Airlines participates in TSA PreCheck for eligible flights departing from airports in the United States. TSA PreCheck only applies to the U.S. departure portion of your itinerary. It does not apply to flights departing from South Korea or other international locations.
Even if you have an active TSA PreCheck membership the benefit will not automatically appear on your boarding pass unless your Known Traveler Number is correctly added to your Asiana Airlines booking.
**Who Is Eligible To Use TSA PreCheck With Asiana Airlines**
Eligibility depends on the traveler and the flight. You must be enrolled in TSA PreCheck or another trusted traveler program such as Global Entry NEXUS or SENTRI.
Your flight must depart from a U.S. airport and be operated by Asiana Airlines or an eligible partner airline that participates in TSA PreCheck. The personal information in your airline reservation must exactly match your TSA enrollment details.
If any of these requirements are not met TSA PreCheck may not appear on your boarding pass.
**Information Needed Before Adding TSA PreCheck**
Before adding TSA PreCheck to your Asiana Airlines reservation make sure you have the correct information available.
Your Known Traveler Number issued after TSA approval
Your Asiana Airlines booking reference number
Your passport details as entered in the reservation
Your full name matching your TSA PreCheck profile
Accuracy is extremely important. Even a small spelling difference can prevent TSA PreCheck from being applied.
**Adding TSA PreCheck During Asiana Airlines Flight Booking**
The most convenient time to add TSA PreCheck is while booking your flight.
When booking through the Asiana Airlines website you will be asked to enter passenger information. Look for a field labeled Known Traveler Number or Trusted Traveler Number.
Enter your Known Traveler Number carefully and review it before completing the booking. Once entered the number is stored in your reservation and checked automatically during online check in.
Adding TSA PreCheck at this stage greatly increases the chances that it will appear on your boarding pass.
**Adding TSA PreCheck After Booking Through Asiana Airlines Website**
If you have already booked your flight and did not add TSA PreCheck you can update your reservation online.
Visit the Asiana Airlines official website and navigate to the manage booking section. Enter your booking reference and your name to access your itinerary.
Look for a section labeled passenger information or secure flight information. There should be an option to add or edit your Known Traveler Number.
Enter the number exactly as issued and save the changes. It is best to do this at least seventy two hours before departure to allow processing time.
**Adding TSA PreCheck Through Asiana Airlines Customer Service**
If you cannot update your reservation online or if your ticket was booked through a third party travel agency contact Asiana Airlines customer service.
Provide your booking reference and inform the representative that you would like to add your TSA PreCheck Known Traveler Number.
The agent will verify your identity and manually add the information. Before ending the call ask the agent to confirm that the Known Traveler Number has been added to all applicable flight segments.
This method is helpful for complex itineraries or special bookings.
**Adding TSA PreCheck At The Airport Check In Counter**
If TSA PreCheck was not added before arriving at the airport you may try to add it at the check in counter.
Present your passport and Known Traveler Number to the Asiana Airlines staff and request that it be added to your booking.
While this may work in some cases it is not guaranteed. Airport systems may have limited ability to update secure traveler information close to departure. Adding TSA PreCheck in advance is strongly recommended.
**How To Confirm TSA PreCheck On Your Boarding Pass**
After adding your Known Traveler Number always verify your boarding pass.
When you check in online or receive a printed boarding pass look for the TSA PreCheck indicator. It is usually printed near the top or middle of the boarding pass.
If TSA PreCheck does not appear contact an Asiana Airlines agent immediately to see if the issue can be corrected before security screening.
**Common Reasons TSA PreCheck Does Not Appear**
There are several common reasons TSA PreCheck may not show on an Asiana Airlines boarding pass.
The name in the reservation does not exactly match the TSA profile
The Known Traveler Number was entered incorrectly
The TSA PreCheck membership has expired
The flight is not eligible for TSA PreCheck
The flight is operated by a partner airline that does not participate
Checking these details ahead of time can help avoid last minute problems.
**Using TSA PreCheck On Asiana Airlines Partner Flights**
Asiana Airlines is part of the Star Alliance and partners with many airlines. If your ticket is issued by Asiana Airlines but the flight is operated by another airline TSA PreCheck eligibility depends on the operating carrier.
Always verify which airline operates your U.S. departure flight. Even with a valid Known Traveler Number TSA PreCheck will only be available if the operating airline participates in the program.
Make sure your Known Traveler Number is added to all eligible segments of your itinerary.
**Helpful Tips For A Smooth TSA PreCheck Experience**
Add your Known Traveler Number as early as possible
Ensure your personal details match your TSA enrollment exactly
Check your boarding pass before arriving at security
Arrive early in case assistance is needed
Keep your TSA PreCheck membership active and updated
These steps help ensure a smooth and stress free airport experience.
