Full release to come in a few weeks but here's the skinny:
Transborder travel just got easier
WestJet has partnered with the U.S. Transportation Security Administration to introduce the TSA Precheck for trusted travellers who are departing from U.S. airports. TSA Precheck offers a smarter travel experience. No need to remove shoes, belt, or light jacket. Laptops and liquids remain in carryon.
Guests looking to participate in this program must fit the eligibility requirements below, and visit a WestJet ticket counter to pick up a TSA Precheck boarding pass before travelling.
Eligibility requirements:
• Canadian citizens who are members of NEXUS
• U.S. citizens and U.S. lawful permanent residents who are members of NEXUS, SENTRI, Global Entry, or TSA PreCheck
Initially, travellers will only be able to use this program using a boarding pass issued from a WestJet ticket counter; however, in early 2016, self-serve enhancements will be available.
