Business Travel Tip # 2 - Volunteer for TSA PreCheck

You will save 15-30 minutes on every flight with TSA PreCheck.

As a corporate traveler flying around 3-5 times a week for business trips, volunteering for TSA PreCheck is an absolute necessity! The time you'll save standing around in security lines is astronomical, especially if you are the one stuck with the out of town meeting around the holidays!

Do the math:

3 business trips per week (equal to 6 flights) x 15 minutes saved time per flight, is equal to an hour an a half of your week saved!

Travelers that are eligible for TSA PreCheck include:

US citizens of frequent flyer programs who meet TSA-mandated criteria and who have been invited by a participating airline US citizen, US national or Lawful Permanent Residents who are members of the TSA PreCheck Application Program US citizens who are members of a US Customers and Border Protection Trusted Traveler program, such as Global Entry, SENTRI, and NEXUS and Canadian citizens who are members of NEXUS Members of the US Armed Forces (requirements found via TSA PreCheck website:  http://www.tsa.gov/tsa-precheck/faqs)
The application fee is $85.00 and is nonrefundable. But the time you save at the airport will add up to thousands of dollars within your first few weeks of flying.
TSA PreCheck is available at more than 100 airports nationwide:  http://www.tsa.gov/tsa-precheck/airlines-airports
