Do You Have PRE-CHECK?
If you are going to be flying and don't have PRE-CHECK then now is the time to get it. It is now cheaper and easier to get than ever.
Why Pre-check? Not only are the lines shorter, but they are hassle free. You don't have to take your shoes off, don't have to take your liquids out of your bag, and don't have to remove your laptop.
How do I get it? Currently you can apply online at: https://www.tsa.gov/precheck. Follow the instructions, and then comes the best news. Depending on where you live, you can most likely skip the airport interview and complete the process at your local Staples! In addition, the cost has even been lowered to $78 for 5 years.
So if you don't have pre-check now, then get it before you fly next. It really takes a lot of stress off of getting to the gate.
