Frequent flyers rejoice! One of the most coveted travel hacks—TSA PreCheck enrollment—is finally coming to Orlando International Airport (MCO). This means skipping the long security lines and making your travel experience significantly less stressful. Let's dive into what this means for you.
What is TSA PreCheck?
TSA PreCheck is a program that allows expedited screening at airport security checkpoints. If approved, you'll enjoy quicker lines, and you can generally keep your shoes, light jackets, and belts on. You'll also be able to leave laptops and approved liquids in your carry-on bags. It's a lifesaver for busy travelers.
Why is This a Big Deal for Orlando?
Orlando International Airport is one of the busiest airports globally, notorious for its long security lines, especially during peak seasons. Having an on-site TSA PreCheck enrollment center will significantly reduce wait times for those who enroll. No more rushing to the airport or worrying about missing your flight due to lengthy security delays.
How to Enroll and What to Expect
The exact location and opening date for the MCO TSA PreCheck enrollment center are yet to be officially announced. Keep an eye on the official Orlando International Airport website and TSA's website for updates. The enrollment process itself typically involves an application, a background check, and an in-person appointment to provide fingerprints. The fee is a one-time cost for a five-year membership.
