While I wait for the Covid situation to improve, I was thinking about future travel conveniences & whether I should apply for TSA Pre-Check or Global Entry or both? I feel like I don't travel internationally enough to invest in getting the Global Entry, but after a few lucky random TSA Pre-Checks I got when getting my Boarding Pass, I've come to really like it. I read that Global Entry include TSA Pre-Check eligibility so although I don't travel internationally a lot, it still might be worth getting it for the times that I do?
For those of you who have it, would you recommend either or both? I checked the TSA Pre-Check info & the application process seems pretty easy even if they do require an interview. There are interview locations for both getting a TSA pre-check & Global Entry near me so that wouldn't tip the scale for me on getting one over the other. I'm curious about everyone's experiences using TSA Pre-Check or Global Entry to help me decide whether I should go for the Global Entry or just the TSA Pre-Check.
Thank you.
