The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is offering a buy-one-get-one (BOGO) offer to sign up for PreCheck, helping families save money and ease through airport security. For a limited time, customers get $15 off the second enrollment when two people enroll together. The offer is only good for first-time customers.

How the TSA’s PreCheck BOGO offer works

To get $15 off, customers must enroll via IDEMIA or CLEAR, on the same day, time, and location. The promotion isn’t limited to only two sign-ups — any size family can apply. For example, a family of four could save $30. To receive the discount, customers must enroll in TSA PreCheck by October 31.

PreCheck signup with IDEMIA costs $76.75, but with the discount, it’s $61.75. The same is true for CLEAR signup, with a regular price of $79.95, and a discounted rate of $64.95.

Senior Vice President of Global Corporate Relations at IDEMIA Public Security, Lisa Shoemaker, said: “For over 12 years, we’ve proudly enrolled travelers in TSA PreCheck, the gold standard in airport efficiency. With families benefiting tremendously from TSA PreCheck, and personally witnessing the stress of traveling with family firsthand, we are honored to partner with TSA on this latest initiative. Together with TSA, we’re making travel more accessible and less overwhelming for parents and kids alike.”

Usually, children don’t need to apply for PreCheck unless they often travel alone. For families traveling together, when the parents have a boarding pass with a TSA PreCheck indicator, kids under 17 are eligible for PreCheck without having their own Known Traveler Number (KTN).

Cafe Charmant, The Corner Store Crew’s Latest, Puts Food Ahead of the Scene

I’ll be honest. If I weren’t a writer, there is no way in hell I could have landed a 7:15 Saturday night reservation at Cafe Charmant just a mere four weeks after its opening. The most recent jewel in the buzzy Catch Hospitality Group’s crown, the glitzy eatery is the newest IT restaurant to hit the downtown scene, so chalk it up to one of the perks of the job that I could walk in, order a drink, and be ushered to a corner table for two in under 10 minutes.

Though the state of making prime reservations in New York City may not come as a surprise to many, I’m still not able to reconcile with the current velvet rope of so many of this city’s restaurants. Sure, the 90s and early 2000’s had their Indochine, Moomba (if you remember that one, we need to grab a drink). The Waverly Inn, but for the most part, you could easily make a reservation or even walk in and wait for a table with a cocktail in hand at most popular establishments. And, let’s be honest, half the people weren’t even eating, if you know what I mean.

A tasting guide to Livermore Valley, California’s friendliest wine country

Adult, Male, Man

Livermore Valley sits in Northern California’s East Bay, where the hustle and bustle of neighboring Oakland and San Francisco give way to grassy rolling hills, big open skies, and over 40 tasting rooms. The region is home to some of the best wines I’ve tasted in the state, without the pretense and rigidity I’ve come to expect from other tasting rooms in the region.

And thanks to the valley’s marine-influenced winds, varied climate, and diverse soils, I tasted an unusually broad range of wines. Crisp whites, structured reds, and everything in between seem to be able to find their footing here.

High Society, Low Alcohol: A Trip to the Hamptons with Heineken 0.0

After a multi-year bender of back-to-back press trips, I decided to swear off travel this past summer. The old dog was tired, and I desperately wanted to reconnect with old friends, visit family, and continue wooing a lovely lady in New York. Oh, and I needed to find time to actually write the stories I had promised publicists in exchange for gallivanting around the globe on their dime. I am, after all, a professional.

As summer raced by, my inbox swelled with tantalizing invitations. I turned them down one after the next with Spartan fortitude. A junket to the Loire Valley to review wineries? Thank you for considering me, but for the next few weeks, I’m committed to rekindling my relationship with my bed. A sailboat cruise on the Amalfi Coast? I hear it’s beautiful this time of year, but sadly, I’m in the weeds bingeing Landman.
