Understanding what's on your ticket.
First thing you want to know when receiving your ticket is whether or not you have TSA Pre-Check. (Usually green check mark and not spelled out.) Trade Mark*
By knowing what's on your ticket, you will know which line you need to enter (avoid wasting more time) once at the security check point.
1. Please have your own ticket showing your current airport as Departing.
2. Have your ID ready with your ticket.
3. Please don't hand a stack of tickets and passports to TSA Agent.
4. If you have medical devices you may consider informing the Agent at this point so he/she can better assist you.
*Lots of time lost in line when people get to agent and start digging through bags for tickets and IDs. Imagine this happening couple hundred times during day; that is a lot of time lost.*
