Global Entry

Posted on June 30, 2014 at 11:54 pm

If you often find yourself travelling to the United States on business and are constantly getting fed up with queues through customs, check out Global Entry. Global Entry allows you to register with the U.S Customs and Border Protection who can approve you for expedited clearance through customs. Using their program, upon arrival instead of waiting in a hour long queue, you can use an automated service to grant you passage through customs. This process is to help speed up the transit time through the terminal by allowing trusted fliers quicker entry. However, to be approved for this service requires extensive background checks and an interview so many may not see the benefit unless you are a frequent flier. Another consideration that should be made is to determine whether your frequent travel location has the Global Entry terminals installed at the airport. A full list of locations and details can be found using simple internet searches.
