global entry

[Wanzo]

Has anyone here signed up for and used global entry to expedite international travel?  I'm thinking about doing it but the main problem is I would need to do it for our whole family to make sense and would have to travel 1.5 hours to an airport for the interview.  We typically travel 1-2x per year where this would come in handy.  Just curious if anyone has done it and would recommend it.

Haven't yet am considering it especially if you are entering all the large international hubs. I think worth it for skipping the lines which could top an hour. Also, I am assuming same for entry into other countries.

Unrelated but love the TSA pre check.

Part of the reason I'm considering it is to get this as well.

I don't think it's worth the hassle if you're only going to use it 1-2 per year.

I have it.  For me, it is definitely worth it to avoid the long lines coming back into the U.S.

It costs $125 per person, I think.  It's been awhile since I got mine.
