I actually opted in (Delta Airlines Digital ID, default opt out) because I have Global Entry so CBP and TSA all have my information already anyway. Opting in was just me authorizing Delta to also share my flight data with them so they can match my records up.
The result? Faster passage through gate security, significantly faster than TSA Precheck in fact. As a frequent flyer, I like it.
- hnburnsy 2y agoIn what way is it faster? Do you skip xray for carry ons?
- Dalewyn 2y agoTSA Precheck lines are excessively long now, to say nothing about the normie lines which probably violate some population density laws of the universe. Meanwhile the Digital ID line is (at least for now) practically empty. So that's an easy 10~20 minutes shaved off. Once I'm ushered through to screening I have the same convenience benefits as TSA Precheck since it's a prerequisite for Digital ID anyway.
- hnburnsy 2y agoCool. You must be at ATL. I hardly ever run into a line long line at pre check, I am thankful most flyers dont sign up. A line even shorter sounds good, and with global entry and passport, the government has everything it needs to track me down.
- Dalewyn 2y agoThe closest major airport I use is SEA (which unfortunately doesn't have Digital ID yet), but I've definitely enjoyed the time savings whenever I fly through ATL or LAX. The TSA Precheck lines at all three airports are horrifically long. ;_;
