Miami airport travelers are getting a limited-time TSA perk — but it won’t last long
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is rolling out a limited-time benefit for certain travelers at Miami International Airport (MIA) and airports across the country, just as summer travel ramps up.
In a press release, the agency said the new option comes “just in time for the start of summer travel and the high school and college graduation season,” when a surge in domestic flights, including many younger travelers, is expected.
The TSA is using the opportunity to promote its TSA PreCheck program, which offers travelers “a faster, more seamless airport security experience,” according to Ha Nguyen McNeill, the TSA’s senior official performing the duties of administrator.
A discount for younger travelers
The TSA is rolling out a “special discount” aimed at encouraging “the next generation of travelers to make TSA PreCheck part of their journey” through airport security.
The limited-time promotion, timed to coincide with graduation season, allows eligible applicants to enroll in TSA PreCheck with a $20 discount. The key details of the initiative, called “$20 Take Off,” include:
- New TSA PreCheck applicants must be under 30 years old.
- Applications must be submitted between May 1 and May 31.
- Eligible travelers can save $20 on their initial five-year membership.
Travelers can enroll at any of the more than 1,300 TSA PreCheck enrollment centers nationwide — including select retail locations, not just airports.
According to the agency, the program is available through three authorized enrollment providers: CLEAR, IDEMIA and Telos.
With the promotion, the cost of enrolling in TSA PreCheck drops to between $56.75 and $65, depending on the provider selected.
Program benefits
The promotion comes as the U.S. prepares for heavy summer travel, driven in part by the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which kicks off June 11 and includes host cities across the country — including Miami.
TSA PreCheck is available to U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals and lawful permanent residents.
However, applicants may be disqualified if they provide incomplete or false information, violate federal security regulations, or have certain criminal convictions or other disqualifying factors.
