Gateside Lets PreCheck Passengers Skip Security | Salt Lake City News

TSA’s new Gateside program lets PreCheck members skip security to meet loved ones at the gate—bringing back a cherished travel ritual. Available at 13 airports including Salt Lake City, it’s free for PreCheck holders (who pay $60–$80 for five years). While some travelers like Kristi Johnson are thrilled for reunion moments, others worry about crowding. Others, like Davie Merkeley, see it as a game-changer—even buying tickets just to reach the gate. Approved users must apply online ahead of time, and TSA will monitor how this impacts airport flow.
