A new initiative allows certain individuals to access airport gates without a ticket. Eligible members can pass through security and enter the gates. This is made possible through a free program, which requires online application beforehand.

The program is available at multiple airports nationwide, including some major hubs. Applications must be submitted within a specific timeframe prior to the planned visit.

Further details, including the application process and participating airports, are available from the Transportation Security Administration. Approved individuals will need to present identification at security checkpoints.
