Who Is Eligible
You can participate in TSA expedited screening if you are a:
- U.S. citizen and an AAdvantage® program member who received an opt-in invitation
- U.S. citizen enrolled in a CBP Trusted Traveler program including Global Entry, SENTRI and NEXUS
- Canadian citizen traveling within the United States and a member of NEXUS (New!)
How It Works
When you opt in to the program, we share certain information with the TSA Secure Flight System, including:
- Your AAdvantage program tier status and /or U.S. CBP Trusted Traveler program information
- Your passenger reservation information
Once TSA reviews and approves this information, the barcode on your boarding pass will contain information indicating your eligibility. Please keep in mind that because TSA always incorporates random security measures, eligibility for expedited screening will be determined on a per-flight basis.
