Travelers have an opportunity to sign up for TSA PreCheck at an enrollment event at Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB). Appointments are available from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 to 5 p.m. April 22-26, in the baggage claim area. TSA PreCheck allows participating flyers to experience a more efficient airport screening process by leaving on shoes, light jackets and belts and leaving laptops and compliant liquids in carry-on bags.
"While security lines at DAB are traditionally very fast, TSA PreCheck makes the process that much easier, especially for the return flight back to DAB,” said Joanne Magley, with the airport’s air service, marketing & customer experience division. “If you’re traveling with children, they can also use the TSA PreCheck lane. Children aged 12 and younger may use the lane when traveling with a parent or guardian who has the indicator on their boarding pass. Enrolling in TSA PreCheck only takes a few minutes and significantly enhances travelers’ experience when using TSA PreCheck lanes around the country."
Visit tsa.gov/precheck to select an online enrollment provider and the DAB enrollment location, then submit your TSA PreCheck application online in as little as 5 minutes. During the onsite enrollment at DAB, applicants will be fingerprinted for a background check. Applicants pay $78 for a five-year membership in TSA PreCheck—which reflects a $7 price reduction. Most applicants receive their Known Traveler Number (KTN) in about three to five days. Passengers add their KTN to their flight reservations when booking travel to receive TSA PreCheck on their boarding pass. TSA PreCheck members may renew their five-year membership online for $70 up to six months prior to membership expiration.
To complete the on-site process, applicants must bring proof of identity, permanent legal residence, and U.S. citizen documentation, such as a U.S. passport or a birth certificate and a driver’s license.

More than 200 airports, including DAB, participate in the TSA PreCheck program nationwide. Nearly 100 airlines participate in the program, including Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, United Airlines and Virgin America.
