📢 Travel Hack: TSA PreCheck & Global Entry – Worth It for Drifter Fish Club?

TSA PreCheck and Global Entry

What Are They?

✅ TSA PreCheck ($78 for 5 years) – Skip long security lines at U.S. airports, keep your shoes on, and avoid removing laptops or liquids.

✅ Global Entry ($100 for 5 years) – Includes TSA PreCheck plus expedited customs clearance when returning from international trips (think less time waiting in line).

Why Should You Care?

• If you fly domestically, TSA PreCheck speeds up security screening so you can get to your gate faster.

  
  

• If you travel internationally (e.g., fishing in the Bahamas, Mexico, Costa Rica), Global Entry saves time at customs when re-entering the U.S.

  
  

• Many premium credit cards (like Chase Sapphire Reserve) reimburse the cost, making it a free perk.
