06/2012 - Global entry

[Kevy]

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

Newark is a nightmare, they have lots of global entry machines but they are hidden behing each other and the idiots at the front of the line waited for te front 4 machines to become available. When I got closer to the front me and anotehr guy walked around them and went through quickly. Being a nice guy, I waved to the idiots to step up and use those machines.

I had cathay pacific boarding cards that did not have TSa pre on them and had to wait in another line for security. 4 people "working" there and incredibly slow.

I had the same problem in March, in JFK. Next time I'm faced with it, I'm going to stop at the AA counter, show my Global Entry card, and ask for a fresh TSA-Precheck boarding pass.

You guys need to enter your global entry info into your account on the Cathay Pacific website and than your TSA pre-check info will show up on your boarding cards for the flights in the USA.

Don't have an account and was the only time I flew with them in 5 years, was booked with them at the last minute

I've just created a registered account with Cathay Pacific, and I don't see any place to add Global Entry to my profile ... just "Other."

The best airline out there.

When you login click on your name

than profile information

down under the travel documents you want your passport information in there

Then add another one and select OTHER as they don't have the global entry listed

Then add the info in there and you should be good to go.

Cathay Pacific has only been involved in TSA pre-check since Nov 1 2017

I always carry my Global entry card with me as well when I travel so that should get you into the Pre check line as well

I am pretty happy with them as well. They just gave me a free upgrade to Business/First class for a BKK-HKG leg that I have coming up.

Which is going to be real nice since my flight leaves at 6:30 am and I will want to do is get a good sleep in on that first leg anyway.

And the coolest part about that is I will get 10% more EQD's

You will love the attention in first class

I used to say Cathay was the best also. But I now have them 3rd, behind Korean Air and EVA.

My GE expires this end of this year. I applied for renewal in February and my status still shows pending review.
When I originally applied 5 years ago, my statuses changed quick(rec’d to review to schedule interview)I’m talking within a month.
This sucks that it is taking Gov’t so long now.

I saw on the website it says since the Gov’t shutdown earlier this year , app’s may take longer, but Come on!!!!

Glad I did mine last year

My conditional renewal approval came through in 4 days

Than was able to do my interview at DFW when coming back from my trip.

Had my final approval a few days later.



Probably a good thing you applied early Hunter
