h2ooh 00:07 UTC 14 Jan 2014 | Has anyone here tried the new Global Entry program? |
cosmopolitan 02:41 UTC 16 Jan 2014 | Global Entry has been around for quite a while now. Note that it is only available to US citizens incl. Green Card Holders, Canadians and Dutch. It makes immigration a lot easier, especially in places such as Miami. | 1
h2ooh 05:49 UTC 16 Jan 2014 | I know... have you tried it? | 2
nukuhiva2 17:27 UTC 18 Jan 2014 | I have tried and tested it. It was very convenient in Miami. On our way out, however, the uniform told us that our airline did not participate (LAN). He let us proceed to the check point anyway, so we avoided the long line. There we had to go through the regular check with x-ray and shoes off. | 3
h2ooh 20:41 UTC 18 Jan 2014 | NukuHiva2.... so it was good to go for outbound customs processing but not the security check? I'm hoping the Global Entry pass will allow us to use the PreCheck processing line as well as the express line in the Customs re-entry process. Have you re-entered the US using your Global Entry card yet? | 4
nukuhiva2 20:57 UTC 22 Jan 2014 | Maybe, I should add that I have a US passport. I used global entry when reentering the USA in Miami, very convenient and fast. At the beginning of my trip to Peru, when I was leaving Miami for Lima, at the security check, I went to the separate line for global entry. The officer at the entry looked at my boarding pass and saw that it was for LAN. He said that this airline does not participate in the global entry program, but he let me proceed to the actual check-point. There was absolutely nobody in my global entry line, but the regular line was very long. I was able to skip that long line, but I had to go through the normal check-point, shoes off etc. I definitely saved time using global entry. | 5
