Although I’ve been aware of the Global Entry program for years, I never took the time to apply. A membership, which allows travelers to bypass the lines at U.S. Immigration and use kiosks instead, just didn’t seem to be worth the effort. But with more and more friends and colleagues giving me positive reports about their experiences, I decided the program might merit reconsidering. Now, after going through the application process and reaping the rewards of Global Entry, I regret not doing it sooner.
