No, TSA PreCheck is not automatically added to your airline tickets. You must manually enter your Known Traveler Number (KTN) at the time of booking or add it to your frequent flyer profile. This ensures your TSA PreCheck status is recognized and your boarding pass shows the TSA PreCheck indicator, allowing you to use the expedited security lanes. Always verify your KTN is correctly entered to avoid any inconvenience.
