I just scheduled my interview for precheck - this is perfect timing! I’m glad to hear that I won’t have to endure the same craziness as common folk. Only thing is I thought all airlines accepted it…I thought this was a security thing not an airline thing.
Yeah most should accept precheck now it’s possible some international airlines may not have it. But yea the airline has to sign up for it. You will know if they aren’t apart if you go to your airline profile or when you buy the ticket there isn’t a field to put your tsa precheck number.
I learned about all this when I worked in the airport. I never understood what it was but I’m an advocate for it. I need to sign up since I’m about to start traveling more consistently.
That's cool you worked at the airport, you were able to see more behind the scenes. And yes, if you plan to travel more you may want to consider one of these programs to assist you in security screening.
I remember when clear first came out they let my cousins try it for free just to advertise it to the flyers. All of these sound like good perks especially if you travel a lot. These were some really good tips thank you for sharing.
Great to-the-point information. I wish I had seen your video sooner. You are so cool and collected. You articulate the information you really need without going into extraneous material that puts people to sleep.
Yes lawd pre-check 🙌🏾. This is a must living in California. If you don't you literally need to show up two in a half hours early for domestic flights to be safe. I'm a fan of clear.
Thank you for the valuable information, Now I definitely know to pass TSA ( haven’t been in airport in a long time) . Appreciate you telling us about it.
This was insanely helpful & well timer ‘cause I’m going with my family to Japan in June & we were discussing possibly getting one of these! I actually didn’t know there were various options, so it was cool learning about all of them. Also super helpful that you talked about the quick turnaround with your application with global entry as I thought it would take months as well as the prices!
OMG I'm so jealous you are going to Japan! That country is definitely on my list! And glad this video was right on time for you. And yes, the application timing for Global Entry is quite fast. The problem could be when looking for an interview appointment as a first time applicant. If you can't find an appointment, use Appointment Scanner. I used this with my niece last year to get her Global Entry. I found one within 10 minutes of signing up!
@@KitatheExplorer I’m super excited as it’s been on my list for years too! I hope you get to go soon and thanks so much for sharing that additional information!
This was very helpful information, it's good that some credit cards give you a credit. And also a great point of reference especially if you plan on traveling.
I have use the pre check that have help me so many times cause am always late to caught my flight.thanks for sharing I def need some of this when am traveling.
It’s been awhile since I flew and didn’t realize these were options, I’m planning to travel the end of this month, so I took notes. I appreciate this thorough information. Thanks boo!
I literally just did the pre check yesterday, Thursday and got my number today, Friday. Did it at Staples and it took about 13 minutes. Took fingerprints, scanned my birth certificate, verified information I put in application online, paid and it was over.🥰
I appreciate this video!! I've been considering getting TSA Precheck once the world goes back to some type of normalcy but at the same timeeeeeee the Global Entry option sounds nice too. Especially since I want to do more international traveling.
Yeah if you plan to do international traveling, you might as well pay the additional 15 for global entry since it includes tsa PreCheck. Thanks for watching!
I always enjoy your videos.. always resourceful. You're excellent and providing detailed info.. this TSA precheck sounds great especially if you plan on traveling allot... those lines are usually hectic 👀
This was some thing I was looking into getting . Thank you so much for the info . I plan to travel a lot once everything is open and it’s safe to travel .
This is such helpful information! I hope to travel internationally next year so I’ll definitely look into this. It’s good that some credit cards give you a credit for it as well
I’m with Cherise! I thought it was a security thing not an airline thing. But I’ve been looking into getting global entry, but I don’t know if I travel enough enough to warrant it. I may do it when I upgrade my card , because they offer reimbursement for it
Yeah the airline has to accept the TSA precheck program as well in order for it to be used. I learned that the hard way once which was a loooooong time ago. But hopefully most airlines are hip now.
It's been so long that I've traveled, but it seems like there have been a lot of great innovations since I did. The prices sound reasonable and it would be wonderful to avoid those long lines. I definitely need to check this out the next time I plan a trip!
What a helpful video! I had no idea about all of these programs! I'm just wondering whether it is a US thing or there are more programs like this available worldwide. Definitely going to check them out :)
Huh this is very informational video! I have been wondering how the TSA works. I always see it every time we fly. With how you explained everything I agree having the Global Entry. Not only does it come with TSA pre check, it’s also only a few $ more to get it, and if you travel internationally, it helps with customs. We don’t travel internationally that much, maybe once a year, but this makes me want to apply for it. I had no clue that there is also another one called CLEAR. Do you need to have it even if you already have Global Entry?
Yes, Clear is great when you use it with TSA Precheck (which is included with Global Entry). Clear uses biometrics to check you through security. You don't have to pull out any ID, just show your boarding pass and you get expedited past the TSA line. This is great for extremely busy airports (like ATL in my case). Also, some sporting arenas use Clear for expedited screening as well.
@@KitatheExplorer Deff was helpful to learn about the precheck option as Im always running late! But that would stink to have a late or early flight and it be closed so deff alot to consider with that option.
Most people are freaked out about giving your biometrics information to a third party company when it comes to CLEAR. One thing they forgot that once they enter their fingerprint into the iPhone, they can login to their iPad as well with no problem. You explained that really well.
Its good to know that global entry includes TSA pre check. I usually only do an international trip once a year, do you think global entry would be worth it for me? I currently have CLEAR
I would say Global Entry would be worth it, if you still travel a few times a year so you can utilize the TSA precheck benefit. Global Entry isn't much more than TSA Precheck and both last for 5 years. Plus, if you have a credit card to cover it, why not! And Clear is costly with an annual fee and it appears to be more since I signed up for it years ago. But Clear + TSA Precheck especially at ATL airport is a must for me!
New subscriber. I don't travel due to fear, but I have changed my mindset and am planning to travel starting next month with a trip to Vegas. I found your channel because I wanted more information on TSA precheck and your vlog was helpful thank you.
Welcome and thanks for subscribing! And I'm glad this video was helpful for you. But I'm excited for your upcoming travels!! Here is another video that may help in regards to fear: ruclips.net/video/E8nSGjlRUSY/видео.html
This is really incredible information. Them lines be extended long. I hate waiting in line. I really want to travel, but I'm just waiting for things to return back to normal w.e that will be. I like how kids are free Most times they make go pay for each child.
For the fingerprint issue with Clear - use lotion first That was the best advice I got when I signed up for clear. Funny my eye scan doesn’t work because at the time I had lash extensions (which weren’t extreme) and it just wasn’t happening. So it’s thumbs for me each and everytime. And combining it with TSA Pre Check - GOLDEN
Yassss!!! Thank you for this tip on the lotion. Ooo I didn’t even think about that with lashes and the eye scan. And agreed, TSA + Clear is definitely GOLDEN!
Honestly I didn’t know these existed. I usually just do the regular check in with TSA and the lines take so long to move that’s why I dread going to the airport lol. But this was very informative for my next trip
This is such a helpful video! I’ve never looked into the alternatives but I haven’t had too many terrible security experiences. They usually go pretty quick thank God. Last time, I had LONG braids & I had to hold up my hair lol
You are so lucky! That’s never the case flying out of Atlanta. And I hate when they have to search my hair. Lucky I haven’t had to put up with that in a long time.
If you plan on traveling in the next few months, it would be worth it to get TSA PreCheck. We were at the Denver airport at 5am and the regular security line was so packed that it looked like a really large crowd--I even took a picture from the escalator we were going down. I've heard from others similar things. Folks are itching to get out, so I think this will be the norm for many months.
$85 for 5 years and no taking off the shoes? That sounds like a pretty good deal for me considering I have a toddler. I miss traveling though! I haven't gone since this all started and watching this video felt like I was going to travel soon.
Oh airport security is one of my least favorite things when traveling. This is definitely something that could make life a little easier when traveling. I’m going to look into this when we travel this summer.
For some none US citizens, Global Entry is the only way to get TSA Precheck. For me, being a Dutch citizen, getting Global Entry was the only way to also get TSA Precheck. I'm now conditionally approved, so I'll just have to do the enrollment on arrival interview when I get to Orlando on November 9th 🙂
Yes Legal Permanent US Residents and the following non US Citizens may apply: Global Entry is also available to citizens of the Netherlands who are enrolled in FLUX and Korean Smart Entry Service members. Citizens of Germany, Panama, and Mexico may also apply for Global Entry. Canadian NEXUS members have Global Entry benefits, but are not eligible to join. Just wanted to clarify so other nationals won’t get upset if trying to apply. Unfortunately, it isn’t that wide open. At least not at this time. But glad you were able to apply and to get an appointment!
@@KitatheExplorer You're correct, Global Entry is only available to some 14 other nationalities. As to 'enrollment on arrival', you don't need to make an appointment for that, though the number of airports where it's available is limited. There's a list on the CBP website with all the airports that support 'enrollment on arrival', including a few outside the US. There are also different requirements for different countries. Being Dutch, I had to have a DigID and give explicit permission to local law enforcement to do the background check. Make sure that you can actually qualify as the $100 application fee is non-refundable!
Do you have to wait in the typical 1-2 hour immigration line first before the EOA interview? Or, are you able to bypass the long immigration line after completing the EoA Interview?
I have TSA precheck because I’m in the military but I’d have to travel a lot more to convince me to pay 😅 I’m too cheap. Even though I live in Europe I don’t actually fly into large busy airports very often, we do lots of ground travel, but I’ve always wondered how people get global!
Yeah you definitely have to analyze the cost benefits to get any of these. But luckily you automatically (which you should) get TSA precheck! Thanks for watching!
Great Vid! Thanks for sharing. I did have a question about just a General Member for Delta pretty much us regular people with out status. I see on the website it's 119/Year which saves about 60 bucks rather then just signing up directly with clear at the 179/Year rate. I'm just wondering if I am missing something with this? Everyone should have a general delta skymiles number.
Yeah it’s free and easy to sign up. I would recommend signing up for any potential travel program that you may touch. But in this case, being a general SkyMiles member gets you a Clear discount (at least for now)! And if you become a medallion member, you get more off! Learn more here: www.delta.com/us/en/check-in-security/expedited-airport-security/clear.
My Global Entry app was conditionally approved in two days, but the earliest interview I can get is 5 months out. I received my new passport in three weeks! I'll get my GE card in plenty of time for my trip, but that's because I started early. Don't delay!
Yeah getting appointments right now is very difficult. I was trying to find my niece an appointment and couldn’t find one until way after our scheduled trip. But I found a website called Appointment Scanner and they literally got me an appointment within 10 minutes. appointmentscanner.com/
Card is not necessary for trips by air as GE is linked to your passport info. You can use it to cross the southern border using the express lanes (ReadyLane and SENTRI) or even use it as a REAL ID compliant ID for domestic flights.
You can use any credit card to apply for Global Entry or TSA Precheck BUT ONLY certain credit cards have credits to reimburse your for that travel benefit. And when you use that qualifying card that has the reimbursement, when you use it, the credit card company will refund you. You won't have to do anything. But to find out if you have a credit card that reimburses for this benefit, I would suggest contacting your credit card holder to ask. Also, here is a list of some credit cards that has this benefit: www.cnbc.com/select/best-credit-cards-for-global-entry-and-tsa-precheck-credits/. And I know my Delta AMEX Reserve card reimburses for this as well.
Yes, so if you are flying out of any US airport and the airline you are flying is register for the program, you can go through security using TSA PreCheck for any flight (domestic or international).
I didnt even realize this was a thing. They sure ask for a lot of information. But I'm sure that's apart of their verification process so they know u are who u say you are.
From my experience, Global Entry is way more detailed and takes a lot longer. I just send mine off for renewal a few weeks and I still haven't heard back. So processing is even slower now. I discuss more about Global Entry at 6:05. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hello, I haven’t flown directly out of ATL international concourse in a while (it’s easier to get to domestic or connected in NY to leave). But if I recall there is a precheck line but it is not always open. But the international terminal isn’t really as busy. If the line isn’t open, you can still show you have precheck and still have the screening for tsa precheck if the line is closed.
If you have TSA precheck, children 12 and under may use it as well when traveling with you. You may learn more here: www.tsa.gov/travel/frequently-asked-questions/i-am-traveling-my-family-can-they-also-use-tsa-precheckr-lane.
No the vaccine is not required as of today. And I haven’t heard of it being considered for an application. But the vaccine could be required for a country you may travel to. Which is a case by case basis (or shall I say country by country). Thanks for watching!
Unfortunately no, you will have to pay the entire $100 for the global entry. You can’t pay the $15 difference as they are two different programs. Do you have a credit card that reimburses for registration?
It varies. But the first part of submitting the application and getting the conditional approval usually takes a week. But getting an interview is the tricky part. Depending on the city you are closest too, appointments could be booked up until next year. But you could try to snag an appointment if you go to the airport early for a flight by doing a walk up.
For TSA PreCheck: Children ages 12 and under may use precheck with their parent or guardian as long as the parent or guardian has the PreCheck indicator on their boarding pass. www.tsa.gov/travel/frequently-asked-questions/i-am-traveling-my-family-can-they-also-use-tsa-precheckr-lane For Global Entry: Everyone going through Global Entry must apply and register in this program regardless of age. Children under 18 must have consent from the parent or guardian to register. www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-entry/eligibility/children For Clear: Children under 18 may go through the Clear line for free when accompanied by a Clear member. www.clearme.com/support/family-plan/can-my-children-use-clear Hope this helps!
@@KitatheExplorer so I am traveling next week on a weds. Do you think I can get the global done in time? I am pretty safe traveler and have no records lmao 😂
Well that depends. Have you applied yet? If you have applied and received your notification to schedule an interview, possibly. You will have to arrive at the airport early and TRY to get a walk in appointment. Not guaranteed. If you haven’t applied yet, definitely not. It can take a week at least to get your application reviewed and approved. But you can always try, it doesn’t hurt.
Sorry you feel that way as Clear works wonders for me! I fly through ATL and I have literally gotten through security in less than 5 minutes. And it’s great to not have to take out my ID. But I would say if you don’t travel often, don’t get it. And no you can NEVER bypass security screening (not even employees). It is important to go through security to avoid attacks and insure people are safe.
I have Global Entry which includes TSA precheck. Global entry does not help with domestic travel in the US only for return to the US or for checking into the airport to leave the US. Using TSA Precheck plus Clear is incredible!!! And I’m speaking from years of use with Clear.

That's cool you worked at the airport, you were able to see more behind the scenes. And yes, if you plan to travel more you may want to consider one of these programs to assist you in security screening.
This is how bosses travel! Thank you so much for spreading the gospel of travel wisdom for modern jetsetters. Somebody has to tell em :)

Just wanted to clarify so other nationals won’t get upset if trying to apply. Unfortunately, it isn’t that wide open. At least not at this time. But glad you were able to apply and to get an appointment!
@@KitatheExplorer You're correct, Global Entry is only available to some 14 other nationalities. As to 'enrollment on arrival', you don't need to make an appointment for that, though the number of airports where it's available is limited. There's a list on the CBP website with all the airports that support 'enrollment on arrival', including a few outside the US. There are also different requirements for different countries. Being Dutch, I had to have a DigID and give explicit permission to local law enforcement to do the background check. Make sure that you can actually qualify as the $100 application fee is non-refundable!
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Do you have to wait in the typical 1-2 hour immigration line first before the EOA interview? Or, are you able to bypass the long immigration line after completing the EoA Interview?
It varies but I had a friend just do so and they were able to bypass the line but they spoke to a representative at the line first before proceeding.
Thank you for sharing. I was unaware of some of this info.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
I have TSA precheck because I’m in the military but I’d have to travel a lot more to convince me to pay 😅 I’m too cheap. Even though I live in Europe I don’t actually fly into large busy airports very often, we do lots of ground travel, but I’ve always wondered how people get global!
Yeah you definitely have to analyze the cost benefits to get any of these. But luckily you automatically (which you should) get TSA precheck! Thanks for watching!
Great Vid! Thanks for sharing. I did have a question about just a General Member for Delta pretty much us regular people with out status. I see on the website it's 119/Year which saves about 60 bucks rather then just signing up directly with clear at the 179/Year rate. I'm just wondering if I am missing something with this? Everyone should have a general delta skymiles number.
Yeah it’s free and easy to sign up. I would recommend signing up for any potential travel program that you may touch.
But in this case, being a general SkyMiles member gets you a Clear discount (at least for now)! And if you become a medallion member, you get more off! Learn more here: www.delta.com/us/en/check-in-security/expedited-airport-security/clear.
My Global Entry app was conditionally approved in two days, but the earliest interview I can get is 5 months out. I received my new passport in three weeks! I'll get my GE card in plenty of time for my trip, but that's because I started early. Don't delay!
Yeah getting appointments right now is very difficult. I was trying to find my niece an appointment and couldn’t find one until way after our scheduled trip. But I found a website called Appointment Scanner and they literally got me an appointment within 10 minutes. appointmentscanner.com/
Card is not necessary for trips by air as GE is linked to your passport info. You can use it to cross the southern border using the express lanes (ReadyLane and SENTRI) or even use it as a REAL ID compliant ID for domestic flights.
Correct! Thanks for sharing!
I traveled back in July and going through the TSA was really smooth. The airport was empty.
Yeah I feel like July is when the airports started picking back up. I just traveled last week and it looked like 2019 at least in Atlanta.
Great info!!...I wish seen it before I get TSA pre check 😑
I feel your pain. I did the same thing the first time around.
I love Global Entry and it's definitely worth paying the extra $15.
Girl it’s such a great investment!
Wow.. kids under 18 free 🙌🏾
Yep! If you sign up for clear, the babies can join with you for no additional cost! Thanks for watching!
You mentioned a possible credit when applying? Is this with a travel credit card or any credit card? How does this work?
You can use any credit card to apply for Global Entry or TSA Precheck BUT ONLY certain credit cards have credits to reimburse your for that travel benefit. And when you use that qualifying card that has the reimbursement, when you use it, the credit card company will refund you. You won't have to do anything.
But to find out if you have a credit card that reimburses for this benefit, I would suggest contacting your credit card holder to ask. Also, here is a list of some credit cards that has this benefit: www.cnbc.com/select/best-credit-cards-for-global-entry-and-tsa-precheck-credits/. And I know my Delta AMEX Reserve card reimburses for this as well.
Great info
Thank you!
Can you use TSA pre check to for flying out of the country instead of domestic flights
Yes, so if you are flying out of any US airport and the airline you are flying is register for the program, you can go through security using TSA PreCheck for any flight (domestic or international).
I didnt even realize this was a thing. They sure ask for a lot of information. But I'm sure that's apart of their verification process so they know u are who u say you are.
Oh yes definitely. They ask a lot but I’m sure there is a reason why. Thanks for watching!
Great video
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing! What does eligibility determined means with tsa precheck?
This means your application has been approved and everything should be good. Have you had your interview yet?
@@KitatheExplorer Yes, I've had my interview back in March. How is it getting Global Entry?
From my experience, Global Entry is way more detailed and takes a lot longer. I just send mine off for renewal a few weeks and I still haven't heard back. So processing is even slower now. I discuss more about Global Entry at 6:05. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@KitatheExplorer Thank you for responding!
Hello, question regarding Atlanta. Is there TSA pre-check on the international side for departure’s?
Hello, I haven’t flown directly out of ATL international concourse in a while (it’s easier to get to domestic or connected in NY to leave). But if I recall there is a precheck line but it is not always open. But the international terminal isn’t really as busy. If the line isn’t open, you can still show you have precheck and still have the screening for tsa precheck if the line is closed.
@@KitatheExplorer okay thank you
You're welcome!
question! can you pre check your child as well? or is that not an option? is it by family ?
If you have TSA precheck, children 12 and under may use it as well when traveling with you. You may learn more here: www.tsa.gov/travel/frequently-asked-questions/i-am-traveling-my-family-can-they-also-use-tsa-precheckr-lane.
Doe the global entry allow you to move through customs faster ?
Yes it does!!!
Is COVID vaccine required for global entry?
No the vaccine is not required as of today. And I haven’t heard of it being considered for an application.
But the vaccine could be required for a country you may travel to. Which is a case by case basis (or shall I say country by country).
Thanks for watching!
It is posibly to register for global entry when you already has the TSA pre check? Only paying the $15 diference instead of the $100 ?
Unfortunately no, you will have to pay the entire $100 for the global entry. You can’t pay the $15 difference as they are two different programs. Do you have a credit card that reimburses for registration?
@@KitatheExplorer No 😔...but I will buy the global entry , I think its worthy for me since I travel twice a year.
Thanks!!
Lol that’s the same thing I did. I don’t regret doing it as I used it a lot. But still sucks that there isn’t an upgrade option.
How long does it take for the whole Global Entry process? I would like to apply for it because I start traveling internationally next year?
It varies. But the first part of submitting the application and getting the conditional approval usually takes a week. But getting an interview is the tricky part. Depending on the city you are closest too, appointments could be booked up until next year. But you could try to snag an appointment if you go to the airport early for a flight by doing a walk up.
@@KitatheExplorer Thank you so much! I have a few domestic destinations in the next coming months, I will see if I can get an interview.
Awesome and good luck! It will be well worth it!
How does it work if you travel with a 7 and a 5 year old
For TSA PreCheck: Children ages 12 and under may use precheck with their parent or guardian as long as the parent or guardian has the PreCheck indicator on their boarding pass. www.tsa.gov/travel/frequently-asked-questions/i-am-traveling-my-family-can-they-also-use-tsa-precheckr-lane
For Global Entry: Everyone going through Global Entry must apply and register in this program regardless of age. Children under 18 must have consent from the parent or guardian to register. www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-entry/eligibility/children
For Clear: Children under 18 may go through the Clear line for free when accompanied by a Clear member. www.clearme.com/support/family-plan/can-my-children-use-clear
Hope this helps!
@@KitatheExplorer thank you
You’re welcome!
@@KitatheExplorer so I am traveling next week on a weds. Do you think I can get the global done in time? I am pretty safe traveler and have no records lmao 😂
Well that depends. Have you applied yet? If you have applied and received your notification to schedule an interview, possibly. You will have to arrive at the airport early and TRY to get a walk in appointment. Not guaranteed.
If you haven’t applied yet, definitely not. It can take a week at least to get your application reviewed and approved.
But you can always try, it doesn’t hurt.
HA I think Lexus nexus credit bureau keeps your whole life better than you on file. Probably best to request that report and use it for reference….
Yeah you are right. Particularly for addresses. But not for trips I’ve taken. I need to start a Google doc lol.
Clear is a waste of time, get tsa pre or global entry. Clear does not get your pass the divest area and that is the most annoying area
Sorry you feel that way as Clear works wonders for me! I fly through ATL and I have literally gotten through security in less than 5 minutes. And it’s great to not have to take out my ID. But I would say if you don’t travel often, don’t get it. And no you can NEVER bypass security screening (not even employees). It is important to go through security to avoid attacks and insure people are safe.
@@KitatheExplorer get global entry, it’s better and faster period!
I have Global Entry which includes TSA precheck. Global entry does not help with domestic travel in the US only for return to the US or for checking into the airport to leave the US. Using TSA Precheck plus Clear is incredible!!! And I’m speaking from years of use with Clear.
