<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Greetings:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We are writing to share some important tips to help you better prepare
for
security screening at our Nation’s airport screening checkpoints for the
2018
holiday traveling season. In anticipation of increased wait times and long
lines, we are providing the following TSA travel tips:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * All travelers should arrive at least two hours
early
for domestic and three hours early for international flights, to allow
plenty of
time to get through security screening.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * Travelers with disabilities or medical conditions
who
have concerns about airport screening should contact TSA Cares at least 72
hours
before travel: call TSA Cares toll free at (855) 787-2227 or Federal Relay
711,
between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. ET Monday to Friday; between 9:00 a.m. to
8:00
p.m. ET on weekends/holidays; or by email at
TSA-ContactCenter@tsa.dhs.gov<mailto:TSA-ContactCenter@tsa.dhs.gov>.
TSA Cares agents provide callers with specific information about what to
expect
during screening so that travelers with disabilities or medical conditions
may
better prepare for travel. To learn more about TSA Cares visit <A
href="https://www.tsa.gov/travel/passenger-support">https://www.tsa.gov/travel/passenger-support</A>.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * Travelers with disabilities or medical conditions
can
provide a TSA Cares agent with a flight itinerary, and TSA Cares will
coordinate
assistance available from a Passenger Support Specialist (PSS) and/or
customer
service manager at the airport. This assistance may also be requested at the
checkpoint, but pre-travel (72-hour notice) arrangements are recommended,
and
travelers should still arrive at least two hours early for domestic flights
and
three hours early for international flights. The PSS assist travelers,
address
traveler-related screening concerns immediately and provide in-person on the
spot assistance to travelers requesting assistance in order to enhance the
traveler experience, and maintain efficiency in carrying out TSA's mission.
When
requesting PSS assistance, keep in mind that each airport has different
resources; therefore, the level of assistance received at the checkpoint can
vary. Some airports have an individual who will call the traveler to
gather additional information and arrange a meeting time and place.
Other
locations notify the checkpoint manager of the traveler’s itinerary, but no
pre-contact is made. Travelers who are traveling with a companion may
request that they remain together throughout the security screening process.
If
a traveler arrives at the checkpoint and has any concerns before, during, or
after the screening process, he or she should immediately request to speak
with
a Supervisory TSA Officer or a PSS for assistance.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * Travelers may also download TSA’s Disability
Notification Card, which allows a traveler to discreetly notify the TSA
Officer
of a disability, medical condition, or request for accommodation or
assistance.
This card does not exempt a traveler from screening. Access the wallet-sized
card at <A
href="https://www.tsa.gov/sites/default/files/disability_notification_card_508.pdf">https://www.tsa.gov/sites/default/files/disability_notification_card_508.pdf</A>.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV>· Travelers may learn about pat-downs
through
the video and detailed description at <A

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> * Finally, you may find shorter lines and wait times
by
enrolling in TSA Precheck (TSA Pre✓®). TSA Precheck passengers do not need
to
remove shoes, laptops, 3-1-1 liquids, belts, or light jackets during the
screening process at participating airports. However, passengers are
required to
undergo screening at the checkpoint by technology or a pat-down. Also, TSA
officers may swab your hands, mobility aids, equipment and other external
medical devices to test for explosives using explosives trace detection
technology. Traveling companions of TSA Precheck passengers also must have
TSA
Precheck in order to access the TSA Precheck lanes. For more information
about
how to apply for TSA Precheck (TSA Pre✓®) please visit <A
