If you're a TSA PreCheck member traveling on United Airlines via Chicago's O'Hare or Los Angeles international airports, life just got a bit easier.
If you're a TSA PreCheck member traveling on United Airlines via Chicago's O'Hare or Los Angeles international airports, life just got a bit easier.
United recently updated its website to show that "Touchless ID" technology, which lets users go through security just by scanning their faces and without having to show physical IDs or boarding passes, is now available at those two major hubs for TSA PreCheck users.
In addition, United passengers at O'Hare can use their faces at a new bag-drop shortcut.
To enroll in United's Touchless ID, passengers need to scan their passports and add their Known Traveler Numbers in the United app. They then need to check in for their flights on the mobile app to opt in and give United permission to use their facial scans as IDs.
Once at the airport, passengers would only need to scan their faces at new Touchless ID kiosks.
