    The quickest way to get through customs. Like TSA Pre-Check, this lets you bypass the crazy lines of checking through customs. When you buy Global Entry, you automatically get TSA Pre-Check. It's the best option when you have both for $100, and you won't renew for another 4-5yrs.

    Overall, this was a painless process. The Global Entry agents did a seamless job. I arrived on time and was out in about 15 minutes. My appointment was at 7:30pm on a Thursday night. Once I located their office and sat down at one of the agent's desk, they proceeded to confirm a few basic details on my application. Afterwards, my fingerprints and photo were taken and the TSA agent asked if I had any additional questions. Overall, he was cordial, efficient and professional. Things to know: A. Upon entry into their office, sign your name on the clipboard at the podium. (Don't be surprised if they tell you to bypass that step as they did with me). B. Make sure you have your Passport, Drivers license and a print out of approved application (I did not bring a copy of my approved application but I did have a copy of it saved on my smartphone. However, they never asked for it.) But it's better safe than sorry! BASIC TIPS: Tip 1: Don't get lost trying to find their small, almost hidden office. It is exactly opposite of the door entrance to a huge red colored diner/cafe. (Check out the video, I uploaded). Tip 2: If you drive and park in terminal 4, any parking section in lots 100 to 105 is excellent. It's literally a 2 minute walk to the Global Entry office. Tip 3: Get to your appointment on time so that you can leave the parking lot within 30 mins to save an extra $5. After 30 minutes, they'll charge you $10. Also keep rush hour traffic in mind depending on when you make your appointment. Google maps or Waze can give you excellent updates on traffic. Hope you found this useful! Thx!

    I travel often and standing in the long lines after traveling abroad can get annoying. I invested in Global Entry which is $100 that lasts for 5 years. I applied online and received confirmation of approval in 3 days. Made my appointment at JFK a week later. Things to know... - Sign your name on the clipboard at the podium. - Make sure you have your... 1. Passport 2. Drivers license 3. Print out of approved application (even though they didn't ask to see it, it was required on their website to bring it - so bring it just to be safe). - you will have your photo taken for your ID card, so look decent since you will be stuck with that photo of yourself for 5 years (and yes you can smile for your photo) My appointment was at 8:30am and I arrived early at 8:15am. As i waited in the waiting room, a lady official came to ask for my passport even though I was early. She called me in 2 minutes later. So what happened.... She took my finger prints (don't worry, it's digital finger printing...you're not going to walk out with black ink on your fingertips). She first took my picture. She verified my address. Gave me a walk through on how Global Entry works. Said I'll receive my card in a week and that was it. I was done in less than 10 minutes. Not only was it fast, but also the lady that helped me was super friendly and explained everything well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** UPDATED 6.8.18 **** I've had my Global Entry card for a little over 2 months now and have traveled 4 different places between International and within the USA. I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am that I signed up. The first place I traveled to was to Dubai and the line to pass custom was extremely long. Luckily, Global Entry has a separate line and there was no one standing in line. I was able to pass within a few minutes. There was no need to take your shoes off when passing TSA. However, coming back into the USA from Dubai was a different story, separating the women from the men. But I digress, that's a different topic. Another trip I took was on Memorial Day weekend to Disneyworld. The lines at JFK were horrendous. But with Global Entry, it took me exactly 7 minutes from the moment I stepped out of the cab, passed TSA and walked to my gate. Keep in mind I only bring carry on and use mobile for check-in to save time. It's been awesome! Tip: if you haven't signed up with Global Entry yet, check with your credit card company (if you have one) and see if they offer it. There are some credits cards that offer it for free...such as Chase Sapphire credit card. Members are capable of getting either Global Entry or TSA Pre-Check for free.

    Awful costumer service by the phone. The guy was rude and hung up on me because I asked him to repeat what he said.

    Anyone know the current timeframe for getting an interview at JFK after I complete the TTP process? Can I go 1 week later? 2 months later? Thanks.

    Less than one week

    Should I schedule the interview during my transit in JFK to South Carolina if I am coming back from Barcelona? I have about an hour and half lay over. Do I need to get out of the security and re-enter if the office is outside of the security?

    Apparently you can have the interview when you get off an international flight. No need to schedule. There should be signs there as you disembark, according to a friend who did it recently. Do not proceed to customs, do global entry interview FIRST.… Read more

    I have an international flight the day of my global entry interview. Should I do the interview before or after going through security?

    The Global entry office is before the security gates. So you would do the interview first.

    Do they take walk in for interview?

    Only if you are traveling and have a boarding card to prove it.....

    Decided to use a car service to get from JFK to Manhattan. Both my daughter and I suffer from…read moreawful motion sickness, even with a healthy dose of preventative medicine on board. I was hoping using a car service would ease the likelihood of a more "erratic" drive into the city. I am so glad I did. Making, and changing, the reservation was so simple. And the price was very competitive. After much research I realized that the cost was very similar to a taxi or an uber and actually in some cases better. I especially appreciated the set price with no hidden fees or surprise costs. And paying via Venmo is very easy. The text communications are very clear and response time is impressively quick. As we landed at JFK and were taxing to the gate, I received a text confirming the car, the driver, the license plate & pickup location. When we saw it was a Tesla picking us up, we both panicked. We both get SO sick in Teslas (we have one at home so we are quite familiar). I replied to the text asking if it was possible for a last second car change and literally within minutes it was done. We had a new car and driver ready to pick us up before we even got our bags. I highly recommend Big Apple Ride! We will for sure be using them every time we come to NY. P.S. Remember to bring cash to tip the driver.
