The cards we feature here are from partners who compensate us when you are approved through our site, and this may impact how or where these products appear. We don’t cover all available credit cards, but our analysis, reviews, and opinions are entirely from our editorial team. Terms apply to the offers listed on this page.

TSA PreCheck can be incredibly valuable for frequent travelers. Expedited screening allows enrolled passengers to keep their shoes on and laptops in their bags at more than 200 airports around the U.S. The time savings and reduced hassle are worth the application fee to many travelers, especially those traveling with families.

If you have one of the many credit cards that'll reimburse the PreCheck application fee, it makes it an even clearer choice to register for either TSA PreCheck or to get PreCheck access through enrolling in Global Entry.

For years, TSA PreCheck was mostly limited to the major U.S. airlines. However, the program has seen steady growth over the past few years to now include dozens of North American and international airlines. And today we are seeing more of that international growth.

On Tuesday morning, two more airlines were added to the list of airlines in the TSA PreCheck program: Alitalia Airlines and Qantas Airways. These will be welcome additions for passengers flying on the dozens of weekly flights from the U.S. on the flag carriers of Italy and Australia.

With these additions, a total of 73 airlines now offer PreCheck to qualified passengers, including all of the major US carriers. Here's a list of all participating airlines:
