What is TSA Precheck?

TSA PreCheck is an airport security program designed to make flying a breeze, allowing participants to bypass long security lines while minimizing inconveniences like taking off shoes, belts, light coats, and removing laptops for screening. It's available at most major U.S. airports and is included with Global Entry/NEXUS membership packages.

TSA Precheck allows travelers to breeze through airport security faster by bypassing traditional screening processes. Membership costs $78 annually and lasts five years.

Approved participants receive a Known Traveler Number that must be entered when booking flights; this will display a TSA PreCheck indicator on their airline boarding pass, providing access to expedited lanes.

Travelers looking for TSA Precheck can apply either online or in person at one of the many enrollment centers like Staples. Usually, the process is quick and painless; however it may take longer during peak times; most people receive their approval within weeks.

Citi AAdvantage Executive credit cards offer reimbursement of Global Entry and TSA PreCheck application fees (up to $100 every five years). Service members in uniform automatically enroll, while civilians must add their Known Traveler Number when making leisure travel reservations or frequent flyer programs to ensure it appears on boarding passes. It's possible to reapply six months before your current membership is set to expire.

How much does TSA Precheck cost in 2023?

TSA PreCheck costs $78 to apply for and is valid for five years, payable by credit card, money order, company check or certified/cashier's check — some travel credit cards even reimburse application fees! Once an applicant submits an application they can schedule an interview at one of 350 TSA PreCheck enrollment centers around the country.

Interviews for TSA PreCheck typically involve a brief and straightforward background check process, along with fingerprinting and photographs being taken of applicants. Successful participants receive a Known Traveler Number which they enter when booking flights and is used by TSA security checkpoints to identify them as well.

What's the difference between TSA Precheck and Global Entry?

TSA PreCheck and Global Entry are both trusted traveler programs through the Department of Homeland Security that facilitate expedited airport security screening. Both require a background check, interview, and fee to enroll; enrollment centers include airports, Staples stores, and an increasing number of IdentoGo locations.

Once approved, you'll receive a Known Traveler Number which can be used when booking airline flights. In some instances, airlines will automatically assign this number when you book or check-in for your flight.

Global Entry differs from TSA Precheck, as it expedites your customs experience when traveling internationally. You can find more information, such as eligibility requirements, on their websites. Typically, U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents are eligible to enroll; children aged 12 or younger may use their parents' memberships.

Is TSA Precheck right for me?

Let's weigh the pros and cons. TSA PreCheck is available at many airports and allows travelers to skip regular security lines, providing them with a quicker experience using dedicated TSA PreCheck lanes without needing to remove shoes and belts; members also can keep electronics and 3-1-1 compliant liquids in their bags without worry of removal by security officials.

On the downside, the TSA PreCheck application process can take some time, and the initial application and renewal fee of $78 every five years might seem a bit steep. However, many credit cards offer reimbursement for this expense and your membership lasts for five years.

Even if you only fly a few times a year, the time-saving benefits make TSA PreCheck totally worth it in our book. TSA PreCheck remains an attractive solution for frequent flyers looking to ease their travel experience. Global Entry may offer greater value as its membership includes both PreCheck and Global Entry membership for one price tag, though.

What are other time-saving travel hacks I should know about?

1. Mobile Passport: Say goodbye to those tedious customs and immigration forms with the Mobile Passport app. It lets eligible travelers complete their paperwork electronically, so you can skip the regular lines when you arrive in the United States. More time for exploring, less time waiting!
2. Clear: Picture this: you effortlessly glide through security like a VIP. That's exactly what Clear offers. As a Clear member, you can breeze through designated lanes at participating airports, leaving those long security lines in your rearview mirror.
3. Priority Boarding: Why wait in the line when you can waltz right onto the plane? Take advantage of priority boarding, available for frequent flyers, elite status holders, and those lucky ducks in premium cabins. Getting settled in your seat without the hustle and bustle of the general boarding crowd? Yes, please!
4. Online Check-In: Skip the hassle and queues by checking in online before you even set foot in the airport. Online check-in lets you bypass the check-in lines and head straight to security or bag drop-off, depending on your needs. It's the smart way to start your journey smoothly.
5. Pack Smartly: Let's lighten your load, shall we? Efficient packing is key to saving time. Travel light or use some cute packing cubes and follow the airline's baggage rules to avoid any hold-ups during check-in or at baggage claim. And don't forget to check the TSA guidelines to pack like a pro, without any security surprises.
6. Non-Peak Travel Times: Want to dodge the crowds? Opt for non-peak travel times, like early mornings or late nights. This savvy move means less congestion and shorter lines at the airport. Smooth sailing from check-in to boarding. Ah, the sweet serenity of travel during quieter hours.
7. Airport Lounges: Upgrade your pre-flight experience with a little VIP treatment. Airport lounges are havens of comfort and tranquility. Enjoy amenities like Wi-Fi, snacks, and cozy seating. It's the perfect place to unwind, recharge, and make the most of your downtime. Bon voyage, stress!
8. Research the Airport: Before you take off, get the inside scoop on your departure and arrival airport. Knowing the layout, facilities, and shortcuts can make navigating a breeze. From check-in counters to restrooms, be the master of airport navigation. Knowledge is power, my friends!
9. Plan Ground Transportation: Let's keep the travel momentum going. Don't waste time figuring out transportation on the fly. Plan ahead by booking ride-sharing services, rental cars, or airport shuttles. Smooth transitions from the airport to your destination? That's how we roll!

Who's returning to the One Tree Hill sequel?

One Tree Hill Sequel Cast

According to Variety, Sophia Bush and Hilarie Burton would return as Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer, respectively. Daneel Ackles would also return — and all three would serve as executive producers on the TV show alongside Warner Bros. Television, who was behind the original show.

When asked if he would return as Lucas Scott, Chad Michael Murray simply responded with “No clue." Considering previous reports suggested he had "no plans to return," this is promising news to me! He then added he hopes the sequel series “comes together for the fans.”

“I mean, this fandom that has grown, I mean, literally, I was just in Halifax a week ago and, sure enough, I’m running into 11, 12, 13-year-old kids who are in love with Tree Hill,” he continues. “They’re seeing it on Hulu and they’re going, ‘Oh, my gosh.’ It’s stood the test of time and I think to have some new stories, whatever iteration of the show that’s created, I want it for the fans.”

Will One Tree Hill have a season 10?

One Tree Hill Sequel Plot

One Tree Hill doesn't have a season 10, and it's unclear what kind of sequel this new One Tree Hill series would be. But it looks like star Hilarie Burton is confident the new series would be told through the female experience. "What has been really cool for [the entire cast and crew], they're all really proud of the work that we did back then too," she told Brit + Co in September. And so to see the public support this little show we made 20 years later, that's so special and it's so rare."

“Being able to work with a team of women and look at these stories [and] these characters through a female lens is something that — whether I was doing a reboot or a brand-new show or a different movie at this phase in my life, female teamwork is something that is so vital to me,” she adds in an interview with People. “It is the core of anything I've done that's successful...So I'm excited to be able to team up with people that I look up to, people that I love dearly.”

After the One Tree Hill finale featured all of our favorite characters' kids, I've always wanted to see a One Tree Hill next generation series that brings the kids into high school, which is something other fans have been wanting too!

One viral TikTok imagines an intro for a fictional Next Gen series starring Dylan O'Brien, Candice King, and Vanessa Marano. "Could you imagine this as a reboot with the kids though," one comment reads. "We can only dream."

And good news for OTH fans! Jana Kramer, who played Alex during the later seasons of the show, teased she thinks Peyton and Brooke "are coming back as moms."

"I had spoken to Hilarie about it, about Alex making an appearance when I knew about it," she tells People. "We had discussed it before the news broke...I think their intention is to bring back people that make sense. And Hilarie was like, 'I never got to meet Alex, so it'd be fun to have us meet,' and I'm like, 'I would love that. Sign me up.' So, we'll see. TBD."

Brooke having to deal with her kids' TikToks? Peyton thinking about the future of art and AI? Mouth leading the Tree Hill podcast empire? There is so much to dive into here. But all in all, One Tree Hill is one TV show that gives me so much hope, no matter how many times I watch it. And I know that bringing back our favorite found family is the perfect way to bring some of that hope right back into today's TV.

One Tree Hill also starred Chad Michael Murray, James Lafferty, Austin Nichols, Bethany Joy Lenz, Paul Johansson, Barbara Alyn Woods, Lee Norris, and Antwon Tanner. Check back here for the latest updates on the One Tree Hill reboot cast!
