I have GE. My bride does not. I bat 100% PRE. In the 3 or 4 times she has traveled with me since I got GE, including a trip to Europe, she has also gotten PRE. Don't know why, though she has her own UA MP account.

We are going to Europe this Spring. I'd like to get all her GE paperwork done and have her interview scheduled for the airport office on the day of our departure to Europe. We fly out of IAH but live about 80 miles away. The airport office is the closest but is in Terminal E AIRSIDE, so we can't do the interview unless we are flying somewhere. If she does her interview a couple of hours before we depart for Europe is she likely to be in the system by the time we return about two weeks later?

Secondary question: Anyone have experience with just dropping in at the IAH Term E office to do an unscheduled interview? When I did mine a couple years ago, mid morning on a weekday, there were no other applicants around while I was in there. Looks like they'd be happy to accommodate a drop in.

Thanks!
