Good news for travelers looking to breeze through airport security: the TSA has expanded its PreCheck enrollment program by partnering with Staples stores nationwide. Through this agreement, you can now complete your TSA PreCheck application, provide fingerprints, and verify your identity at many local Staples locations — no need to schedule a visit to a crowded airport office.


This partnership addresses high demand for trusted traveler programs as more Americans return to flying. With TSA PreCheck, you can speed through security lines without removing shoes, belts, or laptops — a huge time-saver, especially during busy travel periods.


Appointments at Staples can be scheduled online, and many stores accept walk-ins, making enrollment more flexible than ever. The program is available for U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents, with a current enrollment fee of $78 for five years of membership.


If you haven’t signed up for PreCheck yet, now might be the perfect time to join — with a convenient stop at your neighborhood Staples.

Stay Organized for Your Next International Adventure: Essential Tips

Stay Organized for Your Next International Adventure: Essential Tips


Planning an international trip can be thrilling — but staying organized is key to avoiding costly mistakes and stressful surprises. Here’s a quick checklist to keep you on track before you head overseas:


✅ Passports & Visas

Double-check that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel dates, and research visa requirements early. Many destinations will deny entry if your passport is close to expiration.


✅ Health Prep

Confirm any required vaccinations and pack prescription medications in their original containers. Consider carrying a printed list of medications and dosages in case of emergencies.


✅ Digital Backups

Scan or photograph important documents (passport, travel insurance, itineraries) and store them securely online or in a trusted app so you can access them if you lose originals.


✅ Money Matters

Notify your bank of travel dates to avoid frozen cards, and carry a small amount of local currency for arrival expenses like taxis or snacks.


✅ Packing Smart

Use packing cubes to stay organized and create a master checklist that includes chargers, adapters, and weather-appropriate clothes. Pro tip: pack a change of clothes in your carry-on just in case luggage goes missing.


✅ Itinerary & Communication

Share your travel plans with family or a friend, including hotel addresses and emergency contacts. Consider a simple international phone plan or eSIM to stay connected affordably.


With a little planning and organization, you’ll focus on what really matters: enjoying your travels and making memories to last a lifetime.



🌍 Happy (and organized) travels!
