Global Entry: How $100 Can Speed Your Travels

For frequent international travelers, the Global Entry Program is worth checking out. Managed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the program allows pre-screened, low-risk U.S. citizens and permanent residents expedited re-entry from international flights. The approval process requires an application and in-person meeting, in addition to a $100 fee. Approved passengers will have access to kiosks for fingerprinting, passport check, and a speedy customs declaration. Currently available only at JFK, George Bush Intercontinental in Houston, Washington Dulles and O'Hare airports, the program is expected to grow.
