You can check for interview availability (without needing to be logged in) at TTP - Schedule Appointment
This page includes a checkbox you can use to show locations with the soonest availability, although they tend to be few in number and near border towns.
You may also wish to consider:
Note also that a location that has literally zero availability for future interviews today, may pop up with available slots tomorrow (or even later today), presumably as people with scheduled appointments do EOA or walk-in thus freeing up their original time slot. So it may be worth checking back periodically.

You may also wish to consider:
- Enrollment on Arrival, which can be done while clearing immigration during international return to the US: Global Entry Enrollment on Arrival
- Some locations offer walk-in interviews even if you do not have an appointment: Global Entry Walk-In Interviews
- If you will be passing through MIA, their GE office nearly always has immediate availability and is open very late.

I was curious to see what openings JFK had, the GE site notes Feb. 4 as the next available--but, tomorrow, Dec. 31 does have availability.
About 6 months ago JFK had so many openings that one could schedule a same day interview. Have they cut back on agents available for interviews?

Just got a Sunday morning interview slot in February for Boston, which advertises their global entry hours as M-F 7am-3pm. Don't want to show up to a closed office, but it would be great to get done without having to take time off from work. Looking at their schedule in May they don't show any other weekend slots.

Got an appointment in RI (we live in Southern MA so more convenient than Boston) for March 18, but only one appointment available, so I took it for myself. Not sure what to do about the other three, the next available interview is in May. Boston has next available on June 15. Guess will just have to keep checking for availability, just tough when kids are in school. . .

Thanks for the heads up, unfortunately did not have time today. Anyway there would probably be riots here in the forum if I got CA and my interview all done in less than three days, lol. I will keep checking for availability. Have people had luck getting appointments for the parents and then just bringing the kids and hope the office takes all of you in, rather than trying to get 4 appointments (I know each is supposed to have a scheduled appointment)?

A bunch of slots (four per day?) opened up in Atlanta (ATL Airport/Terminal F) this morning for Late February and Early March (sorry for caps). They're filling up fast.

Is there a limit to how many times one can reschedule?
I initially found an appointment in SAT, but today something opened up in AUS and rescheduled immediately considering it is a shorter drive from DFW.
not to mention, the one i gave up now shows available in SAT, on 01/28.

If any one is interested in getting an interview in Warwick, RI, I will be cancelling two appointments in March which I made for my wife and daughter. We were able to do walk ins there today. I just want to be sure to get the approvals before cancelling.

My navigation app shows an approximately 200 mile journey from downtown Des Moines to MCI. (I drove 210 miles to ABQ for my interview, so I feel your pain.) But it’s not surprising that there are relatively few CBP officers (they do the interviews) stationed in the middle of the country.
