✈️ TSA PreCheck + Touchless ID for the WIN 🙌

Y’all… I tried the new Touchless TSA program yesterday flying out of MCI and I am officially obsessed.

Picture this:
No digging for your ID.
No fumbling for your boarding pass.
You literally walk up, smile at the camera, and keep it moving. 😎

At MCI, both TSA PreCheck and Touchless lines were super short — I basically walked straight through security.

But TODAY in Atlanta… it came in CLUTCH.

✔️ Used it at baggage drop → MUCH shorter line
✔️ Separate (and faster!) security line from regular PreCheck
✔️ From curb to gate in record time

They were even routing standard TSA PreCheck to a different area, while those of us with Touchless ID breezed right through. 🙌

So… what is Touchless TSA PreCheck and how do you get it?

Here’s the quick breakdown 👇

✨ You must be flying through a participating airline + airport
✨ You need:
• TSA PreCheck
• A valid passport uploaded to your airline profile
• Your Known Traveler Number (KTN) linked

Then:
👉 Opt into the program in your airline profile
👉 Your boarding pass will indicate you’re set up for Touchless ID
👉 At the airport… just follow the signs and SMILE 📸

Easy. Peasy. Lemon. Squeezy. 🍋

If you travel even semi-regularly, this is 1000% worth setting up.

Have you tried it yet?

Three months. Three certificates. And honestly… I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. 🤯✨

The first time I made the Top 150, I was so excited, so grateful… and just a little bit in disbelief.

The second month? Total disbelief. I was pretty convinced someone made a mistake. 😅

But now… three months in a row?
I’m starting to think maybe I’m doing something right. 💚

Especially when you realize this is the Top 150 out of a network of nearly 12,000 agents… that part really puts it into perspective for me.

What means the most to me isn’t the recognition, it’s you. Every single one of you who trusts me with your vacations, your time, your memories.

Because the truth is… I don’t see you as a sale.
I see you as someone I’m building a long-term relationship with.

Someone whose trips I care deeply about.
Someone I will move the sun, moon, and stars for (if I can!) to make sure everything is just right.
Someone whose families I get to watch grow, year after year, memory after memory. ✈️🌴

That’s the part that means everything to me.

So while I’m incredibly honored (and still a little shocked!) to be in the Top 150… I’m not putting pressure on myself to stay there.

I’m just so grateful to have made it this far, and even more grateful for all of you who made it possible. 💛

Thank you for trusting me, supporting me, and coming back time and time again. It truly means the world.

And yes… I absolutely printed off my certificates. All three of them. I’m just that excited about it. 😂

🔥 True story: The boat I was booking for a client group… caught on fire.

You really can’t make this stuff up.

I’ve been working with a corporate group that’s heading to Antigua very soon, and the group leader thought it would be fun to take everyone out on a private catamaran charter while they’re there.

Great idea… except we were getting pretty close to the 11th hour to make it happen.

So I reached out to one of my trusted local contacts in Antigua to see what magic we could work. She found a fantastic option for the group, and over the weekend I was working hard to finalize everything and get all the details secured.

Then I received the photo below.

Yes.
That’s the boat we were working to charter.
Up in flames. 🔥

Needless to say… that option was no longer available.

But this is exactly where having great local connections matters. My contact, the amazing , immediately went back to the drawing board and somehow managed to secure another fantastic option for the group.

Peak season.
Last-minute request.
Original boat literally on fire.

And yet… everything came together.

Parts of my job are fun.
Parts are incredibly rewarding.
And parts can be really hard behind the scenes.

But when my clients are thrilled and the experience still comes together despite the chaos? That’s the best feeling.

Huge credit to Sherry for pulling off a miracle for this group! 🙌

Moments like this are exactly why having a well-connected travel advisor can be priceless. Travelers rarely see the problems we solve behind the scenes… but trust me, they happen all the time.
