Global Entry vs TSA PreCheck: Which One Actually Fits Your Traveler?
Most people think Global Entry vs TSA PreCheck is a simple choice, but the real benefit shows up in the lived experience, not the brochure copy. Both programs promise faster lines and less airport stress, but they solve two totally different problems. And your clients feel the difference immediately. Here’s the quick read: TSA PreCheck is perfect for people who fly domestic often. Global Entry is the smarter move for anyone crossing a border at least once a year. Simple. For context, TSA PreCheck runs about $76 to $85 for five years and lets travellers keep their shoes, liquids and laptops where they belong, which is the dream when you’re clearing security at 6 a.m. with a coffee that’s barely working. Global Entry costs $120 for five years and includes TSA PreCheck, but the real magic is skipping those long U.S. Customs lines when returning from abroad. And if you’re Canadian, you get this perk through NEXUS, which is one of the best deals in North American travel. What I love about these programs is the return on experience. One tight connection saved, one customs hall avoided, one line skipped, and suddenly the cost feels irrelevant. That’s the real win. So tell me, if you already have one of these, what do you love most about it? Ever had it save your trip? You’re here, which means you already see the value. Now imagine doubling down.
