I'm still new to the airlines, and haven't had time to get Global entry. But in the last few months I've entered the U.S. few dozen times where the captain goes to global entry and I go the other way. A few times I was waiting on the Captain, but most of the time they beat me by only a minute or two. Maybe, I've been lucky.

That happens sometimes to where non global beats you in the end, but then again like in IAH where there's no crew line anymore it can make the difference in making a commute or being stuck behind EK and their 20 plus crew for hours.

But it's been worth it especially making multiple turns into Mexico or the Bahamas.

You can do your NEXUS interview at any Canadian airport that has preclearance also, so YQZ, YUL, YYZ, YYC, YOW, YWG, YEG, YVR.

See NEXUS - Enrolment Centres for locations.

I did mine at Sault Ste Marie's border crossing. Quick interview and having Global Entry saves me for those tight conx.
