Is Global Entry just for leaving the country by ground means? I think that is actually what my daughter got. She goes to school in northern VT and wants to drive to Canada. Not because the drinking age is 18 or anything like that, though

For a couple of years, Southwest was giving me PreCheck on most flights.

Same here but the TSA is pressuring the airlines to stop giving it to their FFs. They want the revenue from the enrollment fees. I have heard that by the end of this year there will be very few people able to get it without enrolling

If/when I start traveling for work again, I'll apply. It is really convenient.

One advantage of being military, automatic free Pre-Check

BTW, PreCheck has become routine enough for me to seek something better. Now looking at Clear.

I do somewhere between 120 and 160 legs a year, so I may be an outlier.
Got Clear as well. Works very fast not available at most airports. I have it here in Baltimore. They have Denver, and LAX as well

I only fly now at most twice a year but just did a flight last week to Palm Springs. They gave me free pre-check on all four legs, which was the only good part of the entire travelling portion pretty much.

I travel with a CPAP and it's a PIA to have to drag it out of my carry on. Plus no more shoe and belt removal. I'm REALLY looking forward to this!
