What Does ‘SSSS’ On Your Boarding Pass Mean?

Bottom Line

“SSSS” on your boarding pass is simply a security measure, part of a broader effort to keep flights safe. It does not indicate any wrongdoing and is usually routine. Understanding the process can help travelers avoid anxiety and ensure a smoother journey.
