Frequent flyers know that every second you can save at the airport matters, and what better way to breeze through security than with TSA PreCheck? If you\u2019re a Delta Air Lines passenger and already enjoy the benefits of PreCheck, you\u2019ll want to make sure your Known Traveler Number (KTN) is properly added to your profile. Fortunately, Delta makes this remarkably easy using their mobile app. Whether you’re a frequent business traveler or just love smooth airport experiences, this guide will show you how to seamlessly add your KTN to the Delta app in a few simple steps.<\/p>\n

TLDR (Too long, didn\u2019t read):<\/h3>\n

To add your Known Traveler Number (KTN) to the Delta app, open the app and log into your SkyMiles account. Navigate to your profile settings and enter your KTN in the correct field. This ensures TSA PreCheck applies to your future bookings. You can also add your KTN when booking a new flight if it\u2019s not already saved to your profile.<\/p>\n

What is a KTN and Why Is It Important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A Known Traveler Number (KTN)<\/em> is a unique number issued to travelers who are members of customs and security programs like TSA PreCheck, Global Entry, NEXUS, or SENTRI. When this number is associated with your airline reservation, it communicates your status to security systems and allows you to access expedited security lines\u2014saving you time, stress, and the hassle of removing your shoes or belt at the checkpoint.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve already invested in becoming a trusted traveler, don\u2019t miss out on the benefits just because you forgot to link your KTN. Here\u2019s how to make sure it\u2019s in your Delta profile and future bookings go smoothly.<\/p>\n
