Nope.The last 3 or 4 trips down and back wifey and I got Precheck without asking or paying. Is there some way to learn in advance if we'll get it for our Oct trip? We only found out when we printed our boarding passes previously.
Thanks,
Bill From PA
Just a note:
SW doesn't actually give you Precheck. They send a file to the Thousands Standing Around (TSA) and the TSA gives out pre-check.
Periodically the TSA threatens to quit giving it for "free" but as far as I can tell they never follow through.
Nope.
Well, take that back, you'll get it if you go sign up for it. $85 for 5 years. Best money ever spent. I know they claim that even after you buy it you may not get it but we've flown a lot and never not gotten it since buying it. Your odds of not getting are extremely low compared to hoping you get it randomly when you don't buy it
It's always mentioned.Why would you not get it? I've not heard anyone mention that.
to OP, Last few years, we have gotten "free" precheck. In May, my DH got it going down, neither of us got it coming home.
