Add TSA PreCheck to Breeze During Enrollment or After

You can link your TSA PreCheck membership to Breeze in two ways: when you first enroll in Breeze, or after your account is already set up. The process takes a few minutes and requires your Known Traveler Number (KTN), which appears on your TSA PreCheck card or in your TSA PreCheck membership letter. Once linked, your PreCheck status will show on your boarding pass at the airport.

If you are enrolling in Breeze for the first time, you will see a field asking for your KTN during the sign-up process. If you already have a Breeze account, you can add your KTN by editing your profile settings. Either way, the information syncs with TSA's system, and you should see your PreCheck indicator on your next flight.

Key Takeaways

  • Your Known Traveler Number (KTN) is the 10-digit code on your TSA PreCheck card or membership letter, and you will need it to link your PreCheck to Breeze.
  • New Breeze users can add their KTN during the initial sign-up process in the traveler information section.
  • Existing Breeze account holders can add or update their KTN by going to their profile settings and editing their traveler details.
  • After you add your KTN, it may take a few hours for the information to sync with TSA's system before PreCheck appears on your boarding pass.

Finding Your Known Traveler Number

Your KTN is a 10-digit alphanumeric code issued by TSA when your PreCheck membership is approved. You can find it in three places: printed on the front of your TSA PreCheck card, in the membership approval email TSA sent you, or in your TSA PreCheck account on the official TSA website.

If you cannot locate your KTN, log into your account at tsa.gov, go to your profile, and look for the "Known Traveler Number" field. Write down the exact number before you add it to Breeze, because even a single digit entered incorrectly will prevent PreCheck from showing on your boarding pass.

Adding Your KTN During Breeze Enrollment

When you create a new Breeze account, the sign-up form will ask for your traveler information. One of the fields will be labeled "Known Traveler Number" or "KTN." Enter your 10-digit code exactly as it appears on your TSA PreCheck card. Do not add spaces, dashes, or extra characters.

Complete the rest of your profile information, confirm your email address, and finish the enrollment. Your KTN will be stored in your Breeze account and transmitted to TSA's system. You should see your PreCheck status on your boarding pass the next time you book a flight, though it may take a few hours after enrollment for the system to fully sync.

Adding Your KTN to an Existing Breeze Account

If you already have a Breeze account and did not add your KTN during sign-up, you can add it later. Log into your Breeze account on the Breeze website or mobile app. Look for "Profile," "Account Settings," or "My Information" — the exact label depends on which version of Breeze you are using.

Find the section labeled "Traveler Information" or "Known Traveler Number." Click the edit or update button, enter your 10-digit KTN exactly as it appears on your card, and save your changes. The system will sync your information with TSA within a few hours. On your next flight booking, your PreCheck status should appear automatically.

What Happens After You Add Your KTN

Once your KTN is linked to your Breeze account, TSA's system recognizes you as a PreCheck member. When you book a flight through Breeze or any other airline, your PreCheck status will display on your boarding pass if the airline participates in the program. This means you can use expedited security lanes at participating airports.

Your PreCheck status does not expire when your membership does, but you will need to renew your TSA PreCheck membership before it lapses if you want to keep using expedited screening. If your PreCheck membership expires, remove the old KTN from your Breeze account and add your new one once your renewal is approved.

Troubleshooting: PreCheck Not Showing on Your Boarding Pass

If you added your KTN to Breeze but PreCheck is not appearing on your boarding pass, first check that you entered the number correctly. Log back into your account and verify the KTN matches your TSA PreCheck card exactly. If there is a typo, edit it and save the change.

Wait at least a few hours after making the change, then book a new flight to see if PreCheck appears. If it still does not show up, check the TSA website to confirm your PreCheck membership is active and has not expired. You can also contact Breeze customer service with your confirmation number to ask them to manually verify your KTN in their system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need TSA PreCheck before I add it to Breeze?

Yes. You must have an active TSA PreCheck membership before you can add your KTN to Breeze. If you do not have PreCheck yet, you will need to enroll through the TSA website or at an enrollment center first. The membership costs money and requires an in-person appointment.

Can I add someone else's KTN to my Breeze account?

No. Your Breeze account is for your own travel information. If a family member or friend has TSA PreCheck, they need to create their own Breeze account and add their own KTN to it. Each person's PreCheck status is tied to their individual membership.

What if I renew my TSA PreCheck and get a new KTN?

Log into your Breeze account, go to your traveler information, and update your KTN to the new number from your renewal. Save the change and wait a few hours for the system to sync. Your PreCheck status will then reflect your renewed membership.

Will adding my KTN to Breeze work on other airlines?

Your KTN is tied to your TSA PreCheck membership, not to Breeze. When you book flights on other airlines, you can enter your KTN during their booking process, and PreCheck will show on that boarding pass too. Breeze is just one place to store and use your number.
