TSA Expands Families on Fly Lanes Nationwide

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has launched the “Families on the Fly” initiative to ease airport security for families traveling with children by providing dedicated family lanes and offering a $15 discount on TSA PreCheck enrollment. Initially piloted at Orlando International Airport, the program is now expanding nationwide to airports with high family travel volumes, including upcoming rollouts at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu and John Wayne Orange County Airport. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem emphasized the program's goal to reduce wait times and stress for families while maintaining security, with expanded areas to accommodate strollers, diaper bags, and other family necessities. Additionally, military personnel and their families benefit from expedited access to TSA PreCheck and other special lanes, with further discounts and no-cost enrollment options available to them. This initiative complements other recent TSA changes, such as ending the requirement for passengers to remove shoes during security screening, aimed at modernizing and streamlining the airport experience. The TSA continues to explore further adjustments, including potential changes to liquid limits for carry-on baggage.
