Going through airport security can be one of the most stressful parts of traveling—long lines, shoes off, laptops out, liquids shuffled around. It’s a hassle. But now there’s some good news that might just make your next trip a whole lot smoother.
The TSA has rolled out a special TSA Pre-Check deal for 2025, making it easier (and cheaper) than ever to enroll in the program.
What is TSA Pre-Check?
First introduced in 2013, TSA Pre-Check has been a game-changer for travelers. The program gives eligible passengers access to a dedicated PreCheck lane at airport security, which is almost always shorter and faster than the standard line.
With Pre-Check, you can keep your shoes, light jackets, and belts on—and your laptop and liquids stay in your bag. That means less stress, less juggling, and more time to get where you’re going.
(Quick note: while TSA recently eased the rule on removing shoes for all travelers, TSA Pre-Check still offers plenty of other perks that make the process faster and easier.)
Who Can Enroll in TSA Pre-Check?
TSA Pre-Check is open to:
-
U.S. citizens
-
U.S. nationals
-
Lawful permanent residents
You’ll need to complete a quick online application and then attend an in-person interview at an enrollment center for a background check. Bring valid photo ID and proof of citizenship or residency.
The cost is $77.95–$85, and once you’re approved, you’re covered for five years of faster, easier security screening.
Is TSA Pre-Check Worth It in 2025?
If you only fly once a year, you might be able to get by without it. But for frequent flyers, business travelers, and families, TSA Pre-Check is still a massive time-saver. Shorter lines and a smoother security process can make the difference between a stressful airport run and a relaxed start to your trip.
Travel expert Henry Harteveldt, founder of Atmosphere Research Group, put it simply in an interview with CNBC: there are still “a lot of compelling benefits for Pre-Check.”
And he’s right—especially now with this new offer.
TSA Pre-Check Buy-One-Get-One Deal
For a limited time, TSA is offering a buy-one-get-one discount on Pre-Check enrollment.
Here’s the official announcement:
“For a limited time, enroll in TSA Pre-Check and get $15 off the second enrollment when two people sign up together through authorized enrollment provider, IDEMIA.”
This is perfect if you’re signing up with your spouse, travel buddy, or even your college student heading back to school. You’ll save money and both get access to the benefits of TSA PreCheck.
The deal runs through October 31, 2025—so don’t wait too long to sign up.
Final Thoughts
Airport security isn’t going away, but programs like TSA Pre-Check make the process faster, easier, and way less stressful. With this limited-time TSA Pre-Check buy-one-get-one deal, there’s never been a better time to enroll.
Whether you’re planning a big family vacation, traveling for the holidays, or flying often for work, TSA PreCheck can make your airport experience smoother from start to finish.
