Denver’s airport among a handful that are getting TSA’s faster PreCheck lane

Aug 18, 2025, 4:46 PM

If you travel through Denver International Airport (DIA) often and still don’t have TSA PreCheck, this is your time to get it!

TSA is rolling out a speedier version of PreCheck at 15 major airports, including DIA, using facial recognition tech called Touchless ID.

Instead of fumbling for your ID and boarding pass, the system snaps a live photo and matches it to government records for faster security checks.

Major airlines like American, Delta, United, and Alaska are already on board, with availability depending on the airport. It’s free if you’re already a PreCheck member, but since it’s still in limited testing, you’ll need to be flying through one of these select hubs to try it out.

  • Chicago O’Hare International Airport
  • Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport
  • Denver International Airport
  • Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport
  • Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas
  • Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
  • John F. Kennedy International Airport
  • LaGuardia Airport
  • Los Angeles International Airport
  • Newark Liberty International Airport
  • Portland International Airport in Oregon
  • Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
  • Salt Lake City International Airport
  • San Francisco International Airport
  • Seattle–Tacoma International Airport
