Can I use TSA PreCheck with a non-participating airline?
Can I use our Known Traveler Number for TSA PreCheck if the airline we are flying doesn't recognize them in their system?
Best Answer
No, you cannot. TSA PreCheck requires the participation of the airline. If your airline doesn't participate, you can't use it.

Why can’t I use the TSA Pre?® lanes when traveling on any airline?
Passengers must be traveling on an airline that has entered into a partnership with TSA. Under this partnership, TSA works with the airline to establish system and checkpoint requirements and determine operation of TSA Pre?® lanes at airports.
You can find a list of participating airlines at https://www.tsa.gov/precheck/map.
