SUNWING GETS EXPEDITED SCREENING
SUNWING GETS EXPEDITED SCREENING
Sunwing Airlines has announced that they have become the first Canadian leisure carrier to be awarded entry into the Transportation Security Administration's (TSA) expedited screening programme.
Available at 180 US airports, travellers that are approved by TSA Pre✓ depart through a dedicated screening lane and do not need to remove shoes, laptops, 3-1-1 liquids, belts or light jackets.
According to TSA, in December alone 97 percent of TSA Pre✓ passengers got through an expedited screening lane in less than five minutes. (As always, TSA continues to incorporate unpredictable security measures, both seen and unseen, throughout the airport. All travellers will be screened, and no individual will be guaranteed expedited screening.)
The programme now has 30 airline partners.
Sunwing passengers that are already members of a trusted traveller program such as Global Entry or NEXUS are already eligible to benefit from TSA Pre✓ screening when they depart from any of the participating US airports.
Access to the programme is simple; customers present their NEXUS or Global Entry membership card at check in and, once verified, will be provided with a boarding card denoting their TSA Pre✓ acceptance.
They can then proceed to the TSA Pre✓ clearance lane.
The airline is also in the process of upgrading their booking portal so that passengers can enter in their details ahead of their arrival at the airport to further expedite the process.
