Begged my husband to get precheck he did not. I went thru the precheck and he had to go thru the normal line. You would have thought I left him in a foreign country the way he was looking like a puppydog after I zoomed past him on the other side 🤣 He signed up immediately after our trip.

Book your reservation at the same time. My SO always gets precheck on her ticket without actually having it.

Funny. We are usually traveling with our three kids, so I take the kids through pre-check, he goes through normal line by himself. We usually beat him, but i have the hassle of the three kids, stroller, etc. Works well for us! He usually does not get Pre-check even when I book us together.
