Get Through Security Faster

To avoid long lines when you travel, you should consider the Global Entry and TSA Precheck programs. Both programs offer you expedited service so that you can navigate your way through the airport faster.

To get through security faster, check out the Global Entry Trusted Traveler Program. It’s managed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The program allows pre-approved, low-risk travelers to get expedited clearance when they arrive into the United States.

Once you’re enrolled in the program, you will enter the United States by using automated kiosks located in the Passport Control area. The average time for Global Entry processing is 40 seconds. The program is aimed at the following people:

  • Those who leave the country at least four times per year
  • Airline personnel
  • Business travelers

One benefit of participating in the program is that you’ll be better equipped to make connecting flights when you don't have much time.

The Global Entry program is available to the following people:

  • U.S. citizens
  • Legal residents
  • Permanent residents
  • Be a citizen of one of the participating countries

There is a $120 fee for a five-year registration. You can apply online. Once your application has been reviewed, you will be contacted to schedule an interview at one of the Global Entry Enrollment Centers.

Global Entry Enrollment on Departure (EoD) is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows conditionally approved Global Entry (GE) applicants to complete their interviews prior to their departing flights at select airports offering EoD services.
