Adding passport info and KTN to reservation
Hello. I have booked a flight on Turkish airlines using their website. I do not have a miles and smiles account and am crediting my flight to UA. I was trying to find a spot on their website or app to add my passport info and my KTN for global entry/precheck but cant seem to find anywhere to input it. I have looked everywhere! The app on my phone. The app on my iPad. Website on my phone. Website on my iPad. Am I missing something? Should I join the miles and smiles program so I have a login and try to enter it that way? The only reason I didnt join was because I wanted to make sure my miles would credit to UA and not go to miles and smiles by default. Thanks for your help.

I'm glad I searched for this info. I booked a couple of days ago, and I was surprised that I could not find any place to enter passport and KTN numbers. Now I'll just wait for OLCI.

Last time I had KTN added at the airport, Boarding Pass said TSA-Precheck, but the TSA agent in MIA insisted her computer did not show me eligible to receive the TSA-PRE card. Without that card in possession, you have to remove shoes laptops at the x-ray machine .
