I have finally gotten my Global Entry / TSA Pre-check / Known Traveler Number! I went for the “interview” down at San Antonio International Airport which was the closest office. For some reason, Austin’s office is closed as of this post, which is no bueno, but at least San Antonio isn’t too far away (90 minutes).
For a long time, the only available interview locations were Del Rio and Laredo, which are 4 hours away. 😞 But I kept checking the website, and San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston popped up, with San Antonio’s first available date about a month out, and the other two cities’ were several months of wait. So, I think I got lucky!
Anyways, now I am happy that I can use the TSA Pre-check line. 😀
When I worked at the airport, I came across plenty of Global Entry passengers and they were actually one of the most-polite and respectful travelers I’ve met. It beat having to deal with the rest of the (sometimes entitled) population! Congratulations– use it well!
