No Plane Ticket? New TSA Program Allows You to Go to the Gate
The TSA program lets trusted travelers bring non-ticketed guests back to airport gates, reviving access that ended about 25 years ago.
- The Transportation Security Administration is launching a program enabling non-ticketed visitors to access airport gates at about 25 locations, allowing family members to greet or see off loved ones.
- It has been about 25 years since individuals without a plane ticket could access concourse gates at airports, a change intended to facilitate easier welcomes and send-offs.
- Participants with trusted traveler status can use their Known Traveler Number, or W36CX, to apply for terminal access beyond security checkpoints, even when they are not flying.
- This access allows travelers to meet friends during layovers and enjoy dining and shopping, bringing back moments that were once common before security restrictions tightened.
- At Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, the Transportation Security Administration is currently testing this program to improve the overall passenger experience for all travelers.
