Airline Passenger/General Public Assistance
Before heading to the airport, you can reach out to TSA regarding checkpoint questions by texting "Travel" to AskTSA (275-872) or via social media through X (@AskTSA), Facebook Messenger (http://www.fb.com/AskTSA), or Apple Business Chat. An automated virtual assistant is available 24/7 to answer commonly asked questions, and AskTSA staff are available 365 days a year from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET for more complicated questions.
Passengers who need additional assistance through security screening may request a TSA Passenger Support Specialist (PSS).

Individuals should request passenger assistance at least 72 hours in advance by contacting our TSA Cares passenger support line at (855) 787-2227.
