AAA Mid-Atlantic Hosts TSA Pre✓® Events in Northern Virginia

WASHINGTON, D. C. (Wednesday, June 17, 2020) – As state restrictions are eased and travel planning begins, AAA Mid-Atlantic is offering help for those who may be taking a plane to their next destination. The upcoming TSA Pre✓® events at AAA locations will make it easier to sign up for the screening program that offers an expedited process at the airport.

“For the foreseeable future, safe travel will be about way more than shortcuts through lines,” said John B. Townsend II, Manager of Public and Government Affairs for AAA. “It also means minimizing the number of contacts you and your belongings encounter.”

With TSA Pre✓®, travelers have no need to remove shoes, 3-1-1 liquids, laptops, light outerwear or belts. Today, TSA Pre✓® has more than 450 lanes at 200+ U.S. airports.” TSA Pre✓® is valid for five years.
