If i want to avoid the long lines in Montreal when coming home from Canada and also the lines in Detroit when coming home from Amsterdam do I need both Nexus and GOES?
Thank you for any advice!
In short: yes. Apply for Nexus and get Global Entry as a free benefit. You also save 50 bucks that way (Nexus is $50, while GE is $100). Only possible problem: if you do your Nexus interview at a station without an iris scanner, which includes most (all?) locations in the USA, you will need to add your iris scan at a suitable location later on (most locations do this without an appointment). Until then, the Nexus Air function will not work.
