Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB) presents an exclusive opportunity for travelers to sign up for TSA PreCheck, offering a smoother airport security experience. The enrollment event, set to take place from Nov. 8 to Nov. 10, will allow passengers to register for the program, enhancing their travel process at the airport.

The event, located in the baggage claim area, is open for appointments from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Travelers can leverage the benefits of TSA PreCheck, such as streamlined security screenings that permit them to keep on shoes, light jackets, and belts while leaving laptops and compliant liquids in their 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."

The on-site enrollment at DAB includes fingerprinting for a background check, with a membership fee of $78 for a five-year TSA PreCheck membership. Following enrollment, most applicants receive their Known Traveler Number (KTN) within three to five days and are added to flight reservations, ensuring TSA PreCheck appears on their boarding passes. Renewal options are available online for $70 before the membership's expiration, up to six months in advance.

To complete the enrollment process, applicants must provide proof of identity and U.S. citizenship documentation, such as a U.S. passport, birth certificate, or driver's license. 

DAB is among over 240 airports participating in the TSA PreCheck program, encompassing 80 airlines, including major carriers like Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines. For further information, Katherine Wisniewski, the terminal coordinator, can be reached at 386-248-8030, ext. 18318.
