I believe I read this somewhere, but can't find it now - so asking if anyone had an experience.

If you change/renew your ESTA, but keep the same passport - there is nothing in GE that you'd need to update?

Correct - indeed I had my ESTA lapse for about six months when living in Oz then re-applied before my last trip. Same passport number and GE continued to work absolutely fine.

No interview slots available in London

Waiting a while to see if anything else opens up before reverting to plan b and trying to schedule a convenient slot somewhere when next in the US

Don't forget that you have to get an appointment on the schedule within 30 days of receiving your conditional approval. So if you can't find something suitable in the next 20 odd days, go online again around September 15 and book whatever is available as far in the future as possible at any of the many centres. Once you have that first appointment set up, you can keep checking back on GOES until you get something that suits your schedule. If nothing does prior to your booked appointment, just move that one out as far as possible into the future again and keep checking.

Just used my global entry for the first time. Very easy, I'm impressed.

Does this automatically qualify me for pre check too?

Yes, as long as you fly out on a US carrier to the UK.

Yes. I think most domestic carriers take part, certainly AA do. You need to ensure your known traveller number is in the booking - there is a field for this on AA MMB - and it will show on your bp.

Many thanks for the advice - I will certainly do that

Yep if doing lots of internal flights I find having pre-check one of the best parts of GE Just make sure you add your KTN to your bookings!

Here are the PreCheck participating airlines:

Aeromexico
Air Canada
Alaska Airlines
Allegiant Air
American Airlines
Cape Air
Delta Air Lines
Etihad Airways
Hawaiian Airlines
JetBlue Airways
Lufthansa
OneJet
Seaborne Airlines
Southwest Airlines
Sun Country Airlines
United Airlines
Virgin America
WestJet

Spirit is the largest of the US airlines not yet active for TSA PreCheck.

The GE/PassID KTN number shows up on the AA boarding passes? I've not seen my GE/PASSID KTN number show up on the boarding passes for any of my TSA PreCheck flights this year at least.

I don't think the KTN itself shows on my AA bps, but they certainly have "TSA pre-check" printed on them.
