Airport Access: Caregivers and Parents with Minors and Assisted Passengers

New rules will make it easier for parents, guardians, and caregivers to accompany minors and passengers needing assistance to their flights at domestic airports. Airlines will be able to issue special gate passes, and existing TSA Pre-Check benefits can be applied. This aims to improve the travel experience and safety for families and individuals requiring support.
Key points
Airlines can offer up to two gate passes for parents, guardians, and caregivers accompanying minors or passengers needing assistance.
Existing TSA Pre-Check privileges can be applied to these gate passes.
For wheelchair users, a gate pass will only be issued to the individual pushing the wheelchair.
