For travelers with TSA PreCheck, some good news. Qatar Airways announced on Wednesday that it has joined the program. For those already enrolled in the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) program, this means you can access TSA PreCheck when flying from any of Qatar's 10 US-based gateways.

With the addition of Qatar, there is now a total of 66 airlines that take part in TSA PreCheck. For more information on PreCheck by airline, see The Definitive Guide to All Airlines Offering TSA PreCheck.

Not enrolled in TSA PreCheck? Check out our guide to see if enrollment in the program could save you some time at the airport by not having to remove your shoes and jacket, or your laptop from your carry-on. If you decide to enroll, be sure to check your wallet to see if one of your cards offers TSA PreCheck for free allowing you to save both time at the airport and keep some extra cash in your wallet.
