Terminal 2 is where we usually go thru security and catch the shuttle to T3.

I usually have precheck but whenever my work books my tickets my precheck doesnt work (thats another story)

wondering if there is faster way to get thru security as I have done in other airports (HNL has Gold Line and DEN has Bridge Security which is usually not busy)

Thanks!

Assuming you can not get your work to get their act together - have you called in to get the agent to add your Known Traveler number added to your reservation?

On the day of travel, simply to a DL check-in counter. They can remove and reenter or simply enter your KTN and print you a hard copy BP which will almost certainly have Pre-Check absent some other specific condition. Alternatively, this can be done over the phone once check-in is open, e.g. starting at T-24. It may be doable before, but if DL has not taken over the ticket yet, it may or may not stick.

Sadly my KTN is on the res. I think it’s my middle name that’s causing it. My work has just my middle
initials instead of my full name. The middle initials get stuck to my first name which I think is what’s screwing It up.
To get it fixed they are making it complicated or I’d have fixed it by now. Hopefully soon.


Thanks all

After booking your flight via your corporate travel portal (whatever it is), call DL and ask them to update the Secure Flight Passenger Data fields to correct your middle name so that it matches your KTN record.

well that didn't go well at all. Delta agent told me there was absolutely no way for them to change it unless I called my work travel agent. She said if she touched it there would be a $50.00 charge. She was as unhelpful as she could be. didnt even greet me or ask for a comfirmation number. I wonder if is could try again later today. (I hate to call back and get her immediately again lol)

You can't update it online??

Yes LAX has SkyPrioirity security lanes, as well as CLEAR and PreCheck. TBIT is the only terminal that doesn't have SkyPriority (they have PreCheck to the left side as you walk into the terminal, and only have express lanes for people in business class). The TBIT trick is to go downstairs where the connecting international arrivals are clearing security that has shorter lines when it's open.

Did you ask DL specifically about "Secure Flight Passenger Data"? Remember, you are NOT trying to change the name on your reservation (which DL won't do). What you are trying to correct is the "Secure Flight Passenger Data" fields in your reservation. These fields (First, Middle, Last Name, Date of birth, Gender) must match your KTN - which is also part of the Secure Flight Passenger Data.

I have had this happen before, and have never had an issue doing it online as long as the flight was at least 72 hours away - after which point an agent must do it. Phone agents will generally be confused when you ask to change your name - they will assume you want to change the name on the ticket and not update your secure passenger information (and they may not know the difference, even if you clarify, in which case you may need to HUCA). However - I have only had to do this when I don't have my SkyMiles number on the ticket - in those cases, it always seems to inherit the information from my Delta Profile - but maybe I'm just lucky. I would make sure you have it filled out in your SkyMiles Profile - but I imagine that may only help for future flights.

my corporate travel site appends my middle initial to the end of my first name and it causes no problems with precheck.
