No Need to Take Off Shoes at the Airport

tsa cares for seniors

For passengers aged 75 and older, the TSA offers a risk-based, expedited screening process designed to make travel more comfortable while maintaining security standards. Seniors can keep their shoes on and only need to remove light jackets during screening. If an alarm occurs, additional checks or a pat-down may be required, but you can request seating during this process to ease any discomfort.

For personalized assistance, you can contact TSA Cares at 1 (855) 787-2227. It’s recommended to reach out at least 72 hours before your flight to discuss specific needs and arrange any necessary accommodations. This proactive step helps to ensure a smoother and less stressful experience through airport security.
