What’s the first thing you think of when you think of TSA?
Airport? Transportation Security Officers? TSA is all that but so much more.
With TSA screening over 2 million passengers a day, it would be no surprise that some of our passengers may need assistance and guidance through security screening.
Here’s what you should know about all of our customer service resources.
Before you fly:
Have you ever started packing and had to stop to wonder if you could actually take “that” in your carry-on bag?
- You’re lying if you say you’ve never have!
- Well, now there’s an easy and convenient way to get those questions answered.
- Put those thumbs to use and tweet or direct message your questions to AskTSA.
- A customer representative is on hand to help answer those dire questions 8am-10pm ET weekdays; 9am-7pm weekends/holidays.
