Wow. They don't even have GE kiosks, and I don't see them being necessary considering they have only seasonal international service with DL to PUC and CDG. I believe the F9 fights to CUN and PUC are charter. The AC flight would get preclearance. They could first try to make it possible to exit the airport without going airside again.

Global Entry kiosks are immediately to the right the moment you enter the customs hall after clearing security. There are good signs. They may not be immediately spotted if there are a few people in line, but there's only one place to go if you turn right. All other non-TT people proceed straight ahead to clear customs.

.Me and the guy who had been in front of me at the PreCheck line both went to a GE kiosk. Quick scan of my (Canadian) passport, a fingerprint scan and we were on our way. I am sure those people behind us thought we were going to get chased down by the authorities for using the 'American' machine.

PANYNJ was resistant to paying for them, and I've seen no indication yet of PANYNJ changing its approach on the matter -- not that I've been looking.
DL did a customer-friendly thing and decided to fund the push for APC kiosks itself at JFK T4. Absent DL, not even JFK T4 would have them.

With duty free liquor and it being within the duty free liquor import allowance, you shouldn't get an X because of that; and at least in terms of time you will probably be cleared as if you had not made any foreign acquisitions.

Used APC for the first time at IAH yesterday. I wasn't sure what to expect, but...
^ It was miles faster than standing in line for the usual interrogation.... and they didn't even want to ask me any questions...in spite of my itin that involved a four-hour visit to GYE on the way back from LIM. It took me 2 minutes to punch the on-screen keys and then pass customs and recheck. Fastest ever re-entry for me at IAH...

No 
, this will only work for US citizens as my husband and I found out yesterday flying in to Dallas. I have a green card, he is a US citizen. We were both told to go to the Visitor Line. I can tell you we are not happy at all about this change, it gives additional problems to families with citizens and residents.

And a bit of a slap in the face for LPRs: it looks like visitors to the US will be getting APC access (Canadians and VWP holders) while residents will be lumped in with visa holders, who often take the longest to process. Not good at all.

Just came through JFK T1 and they had the kiosks up and running. I was through in about 10 minutes at peak and that was because I declared the 6 bottles of liquor I was bringing back.
Otherwise wouldn't have been any different than when I go through the GE lanes.

All those US citizen passengers arriving on AF, AZ, AM or KE metal DL-coded flights finally get a break at JFK? Nice. Has PANYNJ had a change of heart or was it the airlines paying for it again there?

Airport PR on the setup at IAH.
Looks to be 20 kiosks. My cousin went through a couple of weeks ago and said it was under "construction" on the south side a few "rows" behind the GE banks (15 kiosks)
pic
Second PR from airport with additional info:
http://www.fly2houston.com/0/3921678/0/83280/
"The Houston Airport System and U.S. Customs and Border Protection have recently launched several different partnerships designed to expedite the arrivals process for international passengers. The City of Houston stands as one of the most active areas in the country in regards to participation in the Global Entry program. IAH is one of only two airports in the nation to offer expedited entry through a program called OneStop and Houston was the first city chosen to be a “Model Port of Entry.”"
EDIT TO NOTE:
It seems to hint ten airports in total will receive these to start "“The Houston Airport System is among a leading group of 10 international airports that value both excellence in customer service and security"

Article about the APC kiosks at DFW.
http://www.gsnmagazine.com/article/4...sport_control_
Interesting quote from the end of the article:
Is this now a definite - sounded like it had been shelved for the time being from previous comments?
http://www.gsnmagazine.com/article/4...sport_control_
Interesting quote from the end of the article:
In the next few months, DFW plans to add an additional 24 kiosks to serve customers that are U.S. permanent residents as well as those who come from countries that hold visa waiver agreements with the United States, including the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, South Korea, Australia, and Spain.

We had the same experience at DFW yesterday. As a mixed citizen/visitor family we've always been able to go together in the citizen line, so it was a nasty shock to be relegated to the overcrowded visitors line for a hour long wait. Here's hoping VWP countries are added soon.

Also later this year, DFW plans to implement a lane for "one stop" service for international arriving customers who do not have checked baggage.
