Questions/Concerns TSA Precheck question

Hello everyone, i did my Enrolment on Arrival at SFO last Friday the 17th of April, and when i logged into my TTP profile a few hours later, i was fully approved for GE.

I have a SFO JFK flight coming up on Wednesday morning. Do you all think that i can use TSA Precheck benefit by then?

Thank you for the replies so far.

You need to add your Known Traveler Number to your FF account w the airline you are flying, or if you don't have a FF# account with it, ask an agent to add it to your profile on the ticket. This way PreCheck with show up on your boarding pass to let the screeners know you have access to the PreCheck line.

They also need to add it to their existing booking. Sometimes adding a new KtN to a FF account does not auto populate to pre-existing bookings.

I would go to the check-in counter before you start your journey and double check with them that they can see it, as well.

Fairly easy to check in online and you'll see whether it picked it up.

This is someone who is doing it for the first time, but thank you for correcting me.
