You're wrong! Global Entry is the US government's expedited immigration program for frequent travelers and helps speed travelers through customs and immigration without having to wait in hours'-long lines that makes the$100*fee per year more than worth it. And even better we'll be able to use it for personal travel as well.

Diva, check your facts before you get on your high horse. The fee is $100, but it's a 5-year pass. The equates to $20 a year.

And I know what Global Entry is. I have had it for 3 years and have used it 50+ times.

Doesn't really save you that much time either. Often, crew members who don't have Global Entry beat me thru customs as they utilize a sometimes quicker crew line. When G.E. is down I have never had to wait more than a few minutes to get through crew customs. Enjoy your $20 a year non perk.

It's a nice little perk, but nothing more. What about children?

these.....and processing the customs crew line is almost as fast as global entry....so while cool, no super benefit that diva claims....nice for personal travel though.
