Nakhu ukuthi ungayisebenzisa kanjani amakhilomitha e-airline ukuze uweqe imigqa ende ekuvikelekeni kwezindiza.
Ukuqeda inkathi yokuhamba ehlobo ngo-2016, i-TSA ithole ukuhlehliswa okunamandla okuvela emigqeni ende yokuphepha yesikhumulo sezindiza emide. Amavidiyo we-"mile eside" imigqa yokuphepha iye yegciwane futhi imboni yezindiza iye yakhuthaza ngisho nabahambi ukuthi babelane ngezithombe zemigqa emidlalweni yezenhlalo ngokusebenzisa i-hashtag #IHateTheWait. Akukho lutho engikuzondayo ngaphezu kokulinda emgqeni - ngenhlanhla, ubulungu bami be-Nexus ne-Global Entry ngivumele ukuba ngisebenzise i-TSA PreCheck.
Nge-PreCheck, ngingahamba emgwaqweni wesitayela se-fastpass - cabanga ukugxuma umugqa we-roller coaster e-Disneyland - futhi akudingeki uthathe izicathulo zami noma ibhantshi, noma ususe i-laptop yami kusukela ekuhambeni kwami. Lolu khetho lungcono kimi ngoba ngifika ukugwema ukukhungatheka kokulinda emgqeni omude futhi ngingadlula ngokuphepha ngokushesha, nginike isikhathi sokubamba ama-imeyili emsebenzini esangweni, noma ngezikhathi ezithile, ngiphumelele endaweni yokuphumula kwezindiza.
Ngenkathi i-PreCheck inomholo olinganiselwe - $ 85 for ubulungu iminyaka emihlanu - nawe unakho ukhetho ukusindisa ngisho nangaphezulu. Nazi amathiphu amaningana okukhokhela i-PreCheck usebenzisa uhlelo lwakho lokuthembeka kwezindiza.
Shintshanisa amamayela ezindiza
Esikhundleni sokukhokha imali engu-$ 85 ngokuqondile, izinhlelo ezithile zokuthembeka kwezindiza zivumela amalungu ukuba atshintshele amamayela azo ukumboza izindleko zokufaka isicelo se-PreCheck. Uma ngabe ilunga lenqubo yokwethembeka, gcina amehlo ekukhushulwa kwe-PreCheck, njengoba ngokuvamile ayatholakala ngesikhathi esilinganiselwe kuphela.
Isibonelo, ngo-Mashi no-Ephreli 2016, amalungu e-Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan anakho ukukhetha ukushintshanisa amamayela angu-10 000 ukukhokhela izindleko ze-PreCheck. Yize lokho kuyigugu kakhulu, qinisekisa ukuthi ihambelana namasu akho amaphuzu amakhulu. Isibonelo, uma uhamba ngamamayela ambalwa ngamakhilomitha ambalwa ukusuka emgodini wesikhathi eside njengendiza yamahhala, ungase uthande ukucabangela ukukhokhela i-PreCheck ephaketheni bese ulondoloza amamayela akho kulolu moya.
Khokha ngekhadi lakho lesikweletu lesikweletu
Ukuhamba okuncane okuvuza izikweletu zemali noma ukubuyisela amalungu ngqo kwi-PreCheck noma i-Global Entry, noma unikeze isikweletu seminyaka yonke, esingasetshenziswa ukukhokha imali. Kodwa-ke, khumbula eziningana zamakhadi esikweletu ezibuyisela i-PreCheck noma Izimali ze-Global Entry ziba nemali ephakeme yaminyaka yonke, ngakho-ke thatha imali yezinzuzo kanye nezinzuzo ukuze uqiniseke ukuthi ulondoloze imali ekugcineni. Isibonelo, i-Citi AAdvantage Executive World Elite MasterCard inemali eyi-$ 450, kodwa ngaphezu kokubuyisela kwe-PreCheck, inikeza izinzuzo ezinjalo njengebhasi lokuqala elihloliwe - kuwe nabangani abahamba ngezinyawo ezingu-8 - Ubulungu be-Admirals Club, ukukhokhiswa kwemali yokuthengiswa kwamanye amazwe Amasheya angu-25 ekuthengeni kwezindiza. Uma uhamba nomndeni wakho, imali engu-$ 450 yonyaka ingase ikhokhele yona ngokwayo nezikhwama ezihlolwe mahhala zodwa.
Amanye amakhadi anikeza i-PreCheck ukubuyiselwa noma isikweletu esijwayelekile sokuhamba, kufaka phakathi, i-Citi Prestige Card, i-American Express Platinum Card ne-Ritz-Carlton Imivuzo Yesikweletu.
Hambisa kumzila osheshayo nge-Clear
Abahambi abaningi (kuhlanganise nami!) Abangekho amalungu okukhethwa kwesikhumulo sezindiza esheshayo kunase-PreCheck, isevisi kuphela yamalungu ebizwa ngokuthi i-Clear.
Njengelungu le-PreCheck no-Clear, ngaphezu kokuthuthela esiteshini sokuphepha esisheshayo, ungaphinda uhambise isinyathelo esiningi esidla isikhathi sokuthola i-ID yakho ihlolwe. Sula imisebenzi usebenzisa ukuqinisekiswa kwe-biometric - iminwe yakho yeminwe noma ukuhlola kweso - ngakho akudingeki ume endaweni yokuphepha bese ulinda i-Agent e-TSA ukuba ilungele ukuhlola i-ID yakho kanye nesitoreji scribble ekupheni kwakho kokugibela. Uma ubunikazi bakho buqinisekisiwe, ungakwazi ukweqa ukudlula wonke umuntu olinde emgqeni nama-ID awo bese uya ngqo kulayini lokuphepha. Ukusebenzisa inhlanganisela ye-Clear and PreCheck, abanye abagibeli badlula yonke inqubo yokuphepha emaminithini angaphansi kwemihlanu.
Ukusula kuyatholakala ngezindleko eziphakeme kune-PreCheck - $ 179 ngonyaka - ngakho-ke ungafuna ukubhalisa uma uhambahamba njalo. Uma ufuna ubulungu obukhululekile noma obuqedile, i-Delta isanda kuthenga ingxenye yezinkulungwane ezinhlanu ekusula.
Njengengxenye yomnikazi, i-Delta ihlela ukunikela ngemali ekhokhelwayo yokubhalisa amalungu ayo athembekile, kanye nobulungu obuqhamukayo kumalungu e-Diamond-level elite ukwethembeka.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukhetha ukukhokhela i-PreCheck ngaphandle kwephaketheni, ukushintshanisa ukwethembeka kwamamayela noma ukuhlenga isikweletu sokuhamba kusuka ekhadini lesikweletu lesikweletu, qiniseka ukuthi inombolo yakho ehambayo ehambayo (KTN) evela ku-TSA isebenza ngaso sonke isikhathi uma ubhala indiza. Lokhu kuqinisekisa ukuthi izindiza zezindiza zifaka isikhombisi se-PreCheck ekupheni kwakho kokugibela, ngakho-ke ungaqondiswa esiteji sokuphepha esifanele lapho ufika esikhumulweni sezindiza.
