- hueving 10y agoI travel internationally maybe 6 times a year and on average spend maybe 10 minutes waiting in line and 30 seconds talking to the officer at CBP without global entry. I've timed it with friends with global entry going through at the same time and they shaved off maybe 5 minutes. Either ATL, SEA, LAX, JFK, and MSP are way better than average, or global entry isn't worth it except for the tiny percentage of international travelers that commute that way. Point being, for US citizens, CBP is plenty fast enough without global entry.
