Anyone any knowledge on T.S.A. Pre ? I’m a U.K. Passport holder.
Last time travelled to U.S.A. July 2018, we went through all the new, photo / finger print machines at Heathrow. When we got to L.A.X. We went through all their photo / finger print machines too. Going through immigration the officer said something about when we fly back we get in to a different line which makes it all quicker. That happened, we were whisked away to a different security part where we didn’t have to take out electronic equipment, take our shoes off etc. All very quick, very efficient, very polite security agents, all a very nice experience.
No idea how we managed to get this service. We did notice that our boarding passes had TSA Pre printed on them. Googling this only gets a paid for service that gives you this sort of clearance, it also appears it’s for U.S.A. Citizens. Also comes under the Global Entry Program but again a paid for service.
So it looks like I have it and it lasts for five years, meaning when we go this July we get a shorter line and an easier and nicer experience ? No idea, seems all a bit too good to believe to me ?
