If you don't have Global Entry or TSA Precheck, then you are losing

[The_Sheff]

TSA pre check is worth it even if you only use that bytch once. I can’t imagine standing in that long ass line in Atlanta and still taking off clothes.

 

[RiffRaff]

It’s definitely useful, but as an ATL resident, that shyt won’t help you much going through our Airport

Breh! I flew out of there last month with precheck and it took longer than most airports regular TSA lines

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Y'all keep mentioning ATL airport, but I don't remember it being too much of hassle. Granted I havent been there in a few months, but now that work travel has picked up, maybe i'll see it.

Nothing can be worse than Laguardia , even with the renovations. Even JFK is better.

Customs at JFK looks like a favela mixed with a 1980s dept of motor vehicles office

If you fly yes.

Clear is good for stadiums as well.

But I mean, last time I flew out the US the domestic airports weren’t too bad, neither was the airport in Berlin.


France though?

 

[Deltron]

got global entry and clear

 

[Rich Spirit]

got global entry and clear

Hmmm I need to get boffum

 

[princeofhaiti]

Amex platinum covers the fee, same for CLEAR (I ain't going that far tho)

wait amex platinum is 695 a year

 

[princeofhaiti]

what part you going to?

Plan on getting done next month
I have to trip on February to Colombia
And I am not passport bros either

 

[princeofhaiti]

TSA Pre Check is

what credit card includes this feature?

 

[F*ckthemkids]

Been a Nexus/Global entry participant since 2001. In terms of actual time, it's probably saved me years. It's $50.00 per 5 year term. Even if you use it once a year, it's worth it.

 

[Digital Omen]

wait amex platinum is 695 a year

Indeed, you gotta travel a lot to make it worth it (lounges, uber, baggage fees, drinks on board- amex got that)

 

[Kliq_Souf]

Ever fly through Newark?
One of, if not the worst airport in the US. Makes LaGuardia look 5-Star

The new Laguardia is 5 star

 

[The ADD]

This be correct

This is also an international travel hack not many know about.

‎Mobile Passport Control

‎Mobile Passport Control (MPC) is an official application created by U.S. Customs and Border Protection that streamlines your CBP processing experience at select U.S. entry locations. Simply fill out your traveler profile, answer CBP inspection-related questions, and proceed straight to the...

apps.apple.com

You enter your passport info directly to US border control. When you land at customs, there’s a dedicated line that bypasses regular line and global entry, you go directly to the officer. Has saved me tons of time at LAX

And it’s free!

Don't tell em

I use Mobile Passport exclusively. Have avoided so many queues coming back into the country.

Need to get TSA Pre Check to clear the queues going into the airport tho.

Why wouldn’t you?

I have had times when having CLEAR + Global has been a life saver. I would pay for CLEAR if need be but I get from Amex platinum

It’s ideal to have both. Especially in Atlanta.
If you chose CLEAR only, Which is like 800% more expensive than global. You still gotta take your shoes off and electronics out of your bag. Let a credit card pay for both

Not a fan of my biometrics and retinal scan and all that shyt in some database that will eventually get hacked
I know I'm fighting a losing battle and just living in America it's a given that all our info is just one click away
But still, shyt is too close to China levels for my comfort
Speaking of China, they got all my shyt when they hacked OPM in 2014
I'm good
