JetBlue Airways is known for its comfort and customer-friendly policies, and one feature that can further enhance your travel experience is TSA PreCheck. By adding your Known Traveler Number (KTN) to your JetBlue booking, you can speed through airport security lines without the usual hassle. This 800-word guide explains everything you need to know about adding TSA PreCheck to a JetBlue Airways reservation—whether you’re booking a new flight or modifying an existing one.


What Is TSA PreCheck?

TSA PreCheck is a program operated by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that offers expedited security screening for eligible travelers departing from U.S. airports. Members of the program can use special security lanes where they don't have to:

  • Remove shoes

  • Take out laptops

  • Remove 3-1-1 liquids

  • Remove belts or light jackets

Available at over 200 airports and with 85+ participating airlines, including JetBlue, TSA PreCheck is ideal for both frequent flyers and occasional travelers who want to make their airport experience faster and less stressful.


Step 1: Enroll in TSA PreCheck

If you haven’t enrolled in TSA PreCheck yet, follow these steps first:

  1. Go to the TSA website at tsa.gov/precheck.

  2. Complete the online application, providing your personal details.

  3. Schedule an in-person appointment at an enrollment center near you.

  4. Attend your appointment, where you'll be fingerprinted and provide documents (like a passport or birth certificate).

  5. Pay the application fee, currently $78 for five years.

  6. Receive your Known Traveler Number (KTN), typically within 3–5 business days.

Once you have your KTN, you're ready to add it to your JetBlue booking.


Step 2: Add TSA PreCheck to a New JetBlue Booking

If you’re booking a flight through JetBlue’s official website or mobile app, you can easily add your TSA PreCheck information at the time of booking:

  1. Go to jetblue.com or open the JetBlue mobile app.

  2. Start the flight booking process as usual.

  3. On the Traveler Information page, you’ll see a field labeled Known Traveler Number (KTN).

  4. Enter your KTN exactly as it appears in your TSA PreCheck approval letter or account.

  5. Complete the booking.

When your KTN is added at the time of booking, the TSA PreCheck indicator should appear on your boarding pass, allowing you access to expedited security screening lanes.


Step 3: Add TSA PreCheck to an Existing JetBlue Booking

If you've already booked a flight but forgot to include your TSA PreCheck details, you can still add your KTN to your reservation:

Online via JetBlue Website:

  1. Go to jetblue.com.

  2. Click on “Manage Trips” in the main menu.

  3. Enter your confirmation code and last name to access your reservation.

  4. Click on “Edit Traveler Information.”

  5. Locate the field for Known Traveler Number (KTN) and enter your number.

  6. Save your changes.

Using the JetBlue Mobile App:

  1. Open the JetBlue app.

  2. Navigate to your trip under the “My Trips” section.

  3. Select “Edit Traveler Info.”

  4. Add your KTN and save.

To ensure your TSA PreCheck benefits apply, make sure you add your KTN at least 24 hours before your flight.


Step 4: Add TSA PreCheck to Your JetBlue TrueBlue Profile

If you’re a frequent flyer, it’s a good idea to save your KTN in your JetBlue TrueBlue loyalty account:

  1. Sign in to your TrueBlue account at jetblue.com.

  2. Go to your profile settings.

  3. Navigate to “Traveler Details” or similar.

  4. Enter your Known Traveler Number in the designated field.

  5. Save your changes.

Now, every time you book a flight while logged in to your TrueBlue account, your KTN will automatically be applied to your reservation.


Step 5: Confirm TSA PreCheck Is Active

After adding your KTN, you should confirm that TSA PreCheck is active on your booking. You can do this by:

  • Checking your boarding pass for the “TSA Pre✓” indicator.

  • Asking a JetBlue customer service agent to confirm your KTN is associated with your ticket.

  • Verifying your information matches exactly what you submitted to TSA, including your full name, birthdate, and KTN.

If you do not see the PreCheck indicator, you will not be allowed to use the TSA PreCheck lane—even if you are enrolled in the program.


Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Name mismatch: Your name must match exactly between your TSA PreCheck application and your JetBlue booking.

  • Incorrect KTN: Double-check your number for typos.

  • Last-minute updates: Update your booking at least 24 hours before departure for best results.

  • Booking through third parties: If you booked through an online travel agency (like Expedia), you may need to contact JetBlue or the agency directly to add your KTN.

If you're having trouble adding TSA PreCheck to your JetBlue booking or don’t see it reflected on your boarding pass, contact JetBlue customer service for assistance.
