    Yeah, I've been through the missed-connection game, too ... in Los Angeles, Dec 2016, just a couple of days before Christmas. The flight from Narita arrived late, I was handed an "Expedite" chit right out of the gate ... and I was stuck waiting for my scuba bag until after my connection had left! AA booked me on "the next available," a red-eye leaving 10 hours later, and I spent the time in the (crowded) Alaska Airlines lounge with a glass in my hand....
    I'm still "Just A Lurker."

    Most airports I been to your not even getting into the pre-check line without showing some one that you have it.
    Not true for Miami. I've been in the TSA line more than once where they routed regular folks with us TSA folks. They tell us to make sure we show our TSA PRECHECK printed on my ticket.
    They process the non TSA folks the same way as they do in the regular line. It gets a little aggravating to have to wait while 5-8 persons go through the regular routine.
    Having said that, there's no doubt about the benefit.

    especially Miami. No way in hell your ever getting through quicker there

    With global entry they will ask you very few questions and in about 40 trips since i have had global entry my bags have not been search a single time.
    Plus I like not having to answer hardly any questions about my travels

    TSA pre-check is not always terribly fast since more and more people use it but it will almost always be faster than regular processing.

    Plus you don't have to remove stuff from your bag or take your shoes off even if they make you go through the regular line.
    I agree 100 percent. It's worth it for Miami alone ( for us poor souls with no direct flights that are easy)

    In basic training I showered with 35 other guys. How am I supposed to feel some kind of way about taking my shoes off at the airport?

    Much ado about nothing...

    Yes Miami is not real consistent especially at that security connection line. When they have workers standing right in front the doors that split you into the correct line going to the left it will be fast and efficient but I have been there many times when they just crowd everyone together. But you do at least get the benefits of pre check that the non pre-check customers don't get.

    Last time I came through they had everyone going through one line and had the pre check line shut down because they brought in a dog to sniff every piece of carry on luggage.
    Funny cause there was one guy in line that was real nervous about walking past that dog for some reason

    Miami processes through alot of passengers with many of them being connections and they do suffer from great inefficiency from time to time

    I would much rather spend my time relaxing in a chair somewhere in the airport knowing that I have safely made my connection as opposed to a line but to each their own. Way more eye candy walking through out the airport than any congested line and MIA has some of the best looking women walking around.

    Re: 06/2012 - Global entry

    FYI - For you global entry guys....renewal sneaks up on you. I filled out the form a few weeks ago. Paid my 100 bucks....SWEET - Chase reserve refunds that. nice....one more perk for the chase reserve...my favorite card.

    Anyway...my application is STILL pending. They say on site they are backed up because of shutdown..WTF....I did fill the form out wrong having a few wines in me and put countries in there I have been to since 2004 instead of 2014...ughh....might have to go for interview to explain that fuckup.....

    So renew early....you can renew year out. I renewed 11 months out. One of these days I will hopefully get approved..

    I re appilied n December, mine expired February, BUT THey give you an extra 6 months after expiration, at least for the canada side. Was renewed without interview in March. Yeah the shutdown, really screwed things up. BTW only $50 for canadians.

    When I did my renewal last year I had to back for another interview but was able to do it in Dallas on my way back from a trip.

    You did it right in the normal immigration but the ran you through a separate line.

    Took new fingerprints there and they actually processed everything right there and I got the email that it had been approved before I got home. The new card came in the mail a few days later.

    easy peazy

Way more eye candy walking through out the airport than any congested line and MIA has some of the best looking women walking around.

    So yesterday I was coming back into Miami.

    Global entry was a breeze and was in an out in 2 minutes


    The other kiosks weren't busy but the line after that was pretty big.



    Anyway after I come out and head back through security I remember the other TSA precheck at checkpoint 2 but you have to go back into the regular check in area to get there which is not to easy as they had the doors to that area shut off so I ask the ever so "friendly" Latin lady standing there how I get to through there so I can get to that area.

    She points to an area but it doesn't seem like it will take me to the right place because it takes me downstairs and I don't want to be down stairs so I politely ask her where that will take me as I want to end up in the check in area

    Her response was "well why don't you take it and find out where it goes"

    So I just shake my head and head towards the main check in which is not the most efficient TSA precheck there and the line as expected was huge so I ask the lady standing there how to get to the other TSA pre-check line and she says this is the only one.


    I look at her puzzled and say oh the last time I was here the service attendant directed told me there was another TSA precheck at checkpoint 2 and she had me take the crew exit to get there. Are you saying there is no other TSA Pre-Check in the Airport?

    Her response was "No this is the only one and your going to have to use this one and wait"


    I know this fucking cunt is lying to my face but continue into the line.


    And it is going no where. Plus from where I am at I know I am looking at 30-45 min wait even for precheck because they essentially route all passengers through the same line you just don't have to take off your shoes or remove stuff from your luggage.


    I couldn't exactly remember the crew exit but saw some airline crew walking through so finally decided that waiting in this line was not the best choice so ducked under the ropes and decided to chance it.


    It's not very well marked but you basically you follow it to the customer service area and duck right through some doors to the right and head through a back door hallway through another set of doors and boom I am right in the area i want to be.


    It's a short walk to checkpoint 2 which also happens to be the entrance for the crew but low and behold there in fact is another entrance for tsa precheck people only.


    Amazing how either these workers are so uninformed or they will flat out lie to your face.

    A short 5 minute wait and I was through and on my way.

    I did mine last year as well.

    I did it on line. Filled out the app, paid the fee, and a few days later got an email saying I was good to go.

    Still a no brainer for me, and I barely travel.

    Yep.

    I came through Newark once and it was miserable.

    I decided I would never experience that crap ever again

    I have no regrets and Global entry along with precheck is well worth it.

    Even better for you when your credit card pays for it.


    I know that without Global entry and Pre-check I would not have made my connection yesterday.


    I know there are other options below Global entry that are free but nothing beats TSA pre check and the limited questioning you get with global entry

    For me it's either connect in Miami or Charlotte

    problem is that Charlotte trip out of POP doesn't happen daily


    I find I rarely have in issue when coming into MIA and than heading to the DR it's coming back that they are so terribly in-efficient

    I do have to admit i am getting sick of flying back into Miami


    Charlotte immigration is not to bad and neither is Dallas
