Global entry (USA)?
HI All
someone mentioned Global entry and i have seen the terminals in US airports.
Do many of you subscribe to this and if so have you seen any benefits?
I fly to the US about 10 times a year, so would this be wirth it for me?
Cheers

Yes and yes, it's great, but if you're (only) a British citizen, you're not eligible.

You actually need to enter https://www.flux-alliance.eu/home/ before you can join GE.

There is/was - Iris - but it seems to be gone now.

And unlike Privium - it's free!

There was some talk on here a few months ago of the UK joining Privium but I don't know how much truth was in it. Iris is fantastic though; too bad they seem to be letting it die away. And GE is even faster than Iris, and doesn't involve bobbing around looking for the right camera.

A stupid question perhaps but I assume that you can't join GE via a Privium registration unless you also have a Dutch passport? So a UK national cannot just register for Privium and then seek to extend that to GE?

You need to be Dutch or American to join Flux (which includes Privium and GE). GOES as a standalone thing is only for US citizens.

I think you can be a Green Card holder with any passport although I've only used it since having the Blue one. It is indeed, great. While BOS is not often busy I was through ORD, BA gate to land side arrivals, in under 10 mins at Thanksgiving!
