Business Wire
JetBlue (Nasdaq:JBLU) today announced its latest effort to
reduce TSA screening checkpoint wait times. Through a limited time
offer from the airline’s TrueBlue loyalty program, JetBlue will
cover the enrollment fees for TSA Pre✓® for its Mosaic TrueBlue
members (a). Mosaics are JetBlue’s most frequent fliers.
Mosaic members approved for the program will enjoy expedited
screening and smarter security as they travel at participating U.S.
airports. TSA Pre✓® helps travelers move more efficiently though
security by leaving their shoes, belt and light outerwear on, and
in most cases keeping their laptop computers and 3-1-1 compliant
liquids and gels in their carry-on bag.
“Reducing time and the complexity of the security checkpoint
makes a big difference for travelers, especially those who are
always on their way to catch a flight,” said Scott Resnick,
director, loyalty marketing, JetBlue. “This limited time offer to
join TSA Precheck® is just one of the many small ways we are
working to enhance the Mosaic program for our customers. And by
helping the TSA facilitate more fliers in the TSA Precheck® lane,
we can also speed up the security for all customers.”
TrueBlue members with Mosaic status who currently do not have a
Known Traveler Number listed in their loyalty program profile will
receive an email from JetBlue by July 1 with a special promotional
award code that can be redeemed for a TSA Pre✓® Enrollment Voucher.
Once an appointment is scheduled with TSA, this voucher can be used
in lieu of payment to cover the application cost. This offer is
valid for TrueBlue members who earned Mosaic status before June 30,
2016 and codes are valid for redemption through September 30,
2016.
Once approved for TSA Pre✓® customers can add their Known
Traveler Number to reservations prior to check-in or in their
TrueBlue profile. Then, they can print boarding passes from home
with the TSA Pre✓® logo or access via JetBlue’s mobile application.
TSA Pre✓® and JetBlue mobile boarding passes are available in most
of JetBlue’s domestic BlueCities (Travelers can check the locations
of TSA Pre✓™ here).
JetBlue has been working with the TSA to reduce wait times for
all customers. The airline has provided crewmembers and third-party
personnel for non-security positions so that TSA officers can be
redeployed for additional screening lanes. JetBlue and the TSA have
been collaborating on queue designs for optimum flow and a better
customer experience. JetBlue also shares flight data with TSA to
assist with check point staffing.
Travelers may visit TSA.gov to apply for TSA Pre✓®. The
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) also has a list of trusted
traveler programs that will provide TSA Pre✓® eligibility to
travelers. For customers that are not part of the Known Traveler
program, JetBlue will continue to offer its Even More
Speed expedited speed product, available for purchase per
flight.
JetBlue consistently delivers on its promise to provide a
loyalty program that rewards all customers, regardless of their
travel frequency. With JetBlue’s TrueBlue loyalty program, there
are no blackout dates, all seats are available, and points never
expire. JetBlue's most loyal customers can qualify for Mosaic,
which means more points, benefits and exclusive offers, all from
flying 30 segments plus 12,000 base flight points, or by earning
15,000 base flight points within a calendar year. TrueBlue is free
to join. Additional information about TrueBlue and how to register
