Mrs Honeyfill and I are getting ready to start our post retirement travel. We thought that we might look into TSA Pre. I used to get it when I traveled a lot for work and it is a great perk. It only costs 85$ and if you plan to fly a lot during retirement it is worth every penny.
However, today I learned about something even better: "Global Entry" This gives you TSA Pre in the States and lets you jump to the head of the Customs lines when you are traveling internationally!! It only costs 100$ and they throw in the TSA Pre for free.
The moral of the story is: If you are looking into TSA Pre, get the Global entry instead.
Hopefully, fellow travelers can learn from my mistake and safe themselves some time and money!
If anyone has any other helpful hints about trusted traveler programs or related subjects, please post them here.
