During my last flight out of JFK, I was told there is no TSA pre-check line, so I had to comply with the non pre-check rules.
Global entry only covers the line for the passport check. You still need to due the next line for luggage (hello LAX) with everyone else.
- lsllc 8y agoIf there's no Pre-Check line and you have Pre-check then they give you a big laminated card that says "Pre-Check" and you don't need to take shoes off / remove laptops belts etc. Yeah, with Global Entry it's worth paying for the priority baggage otherwise you'll just spend 45 minutes waiting by yourself in the baggage claim area as the bag belts get clogged up and stop with the bags of the passengers still stuck in the passport lines.
- donretag 8y agoThe TSA employees did not care about Pre-Check. They said that it was an international terminal (I was flying domestic) so there was no Pre-Check. The only perk I got was to be able to go through the old style detector. I still needed to remove electronics. They did not care. Also, the line I am referring to is the baggage check for customs. First comes the passport check, then you retrieve your luggage, and then you go through customs again with your luggage (which is never checked). Global Entry does not help you with that last line, which can be brutal at some airports.
