Summary

Accommodating Individuals Requesting Familial Assistance in Riding Efficiently Act or the AIRFARE Act

Full summary6 paragraphs

This bill directs the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to allow caregivers, parents, and guardians to accompany minors and passengers needing assistance to their flights.

Specifically, the TSA must establish a system to expedite gate passes and flight access procedures for these individuals.

The system must ensure that

- air carriers may offer up to two gate passes to caregivers, parents, and guardians who are accompanying a minor or a passenger needing assistance to a departing flight; and

- these individuals may apply their existing TSA PreCheck privileges to such gate passes.

The TSA PreCheck program expedites traveler screening through participating TSA security checkpoints.
