How Do I Add My Ktin to My Ticket on Spirit Air?

There are multiple modes of transport, and choosing to travel by air is a favorite for some people. This is evident as per a report tabled by IATA, which estimated over 4 billion worldwide air passengers in 2017.

As much as traveling via flight is convenient, it does have its downside. Multiple people may be moving at the same time, making it harder for passengers to check into their flights due to security screening. That's where KTN comes in handy.

Some US airports participate in the Known Traveler Number (KTN) service that the US Transportation Security Administration issues. KTN is a number that depicts you have gone through a background check and other screening before checking in. When you add the number to your airline ticket, you can maneuver through the TSA Precheck security lanes, where you'll get expedited customs processing.

Travelers using these lanes won't require to remove shoes, laptops, liquids, gels, or light jackets. Applying for a KTN can be via the Precheck or global entry program, and members of the US armed forces can use their DoD identification numbers as KTNs. Here's how you can add your KTN to your Spirit Air ticket and enjoy the perks that come with it.
