Burbank's Bob Hope Airport has begun offering PreCheck, the airport screening program that lets pre-approved travelers get through security faster. The Transportation Security Administration program is now in place at 103 airports across the U.S.; there are more than 450 commercial airports.

Yes, Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR) features dedicated TSA PreCheck® lanes in both Terminal A and Terminal B. In 2026, Burbank remains a "high-value" alternative to LAX because of its compact size and speed; even during peak hours, the PreCheck line rarely exceeds a 10-minute wait. For 2026 travelers, a newer feature is the "Touchless ID" system, which allows PreCheck members on certain airlines (like United or Delta) to use facial recognition instead of a physical ID. The airport also recently expanded its "TSA ConfirmID" program, where passengers who lack a REAL ID can pay a fee for secondary verification. Because Burbank is so efficient, many 2026 "power travelers" prefer it for domestic hops, as the walk from the PreCheck checkpoint to the farthest gate is less than five minutes, making it the premier "stress-free" gateway to the Los Angeles basin.
