To add TSA PreCheck to your international flight, first ensure you have a Known Traveler Number (KTN) from the TSA PreCheck program. Log into your airline account and enter your KTN in the passenger information section during booking or in your profile settings. If the ticket is already purchased, contact the airline directly to update your reservation by adding your KTN. This integration facilitates the TSA PreCheck benefits at participating U.S. airports for smoother security screening processes on both domestic and international flights.
