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.

My problem is that SLC only does appointments 2 hours per day, Monday through Friday and there doesn't seem to be as much turnover as some of the other centers.
I just rescheduled for NOLA in October when I will be traveling through on business. I'll keep checking SLC and hoping for something to open up before then.

I was too slow on that one. Twice seen something open up on the 28th but I can't do that day unless it's early morning or late night. Refreshing the GOES calendar might be more addictive than Pokemon Go.

Hah. I finally set up the python script and was about to trigger it, refreshed the page, and I've got an appointment tomorrow. Truly rewarding.
I haven't played Pokemon Go yet but I might just download it now to compare. Not sure anything will match this thrill though.

Someone in this thread and another asked when the GE (Global Entry) scheduling availability is updated.
GE schedule IS updated in real-time. Fact.
Note: PHL automated voice greeting (also confirms above) says that they do not accept walk-ins and that you will be turned away. The CBP Officers that I had said they WILL take walk-ins. They had 4 officers rotating doing interviews. THEY ARE EXTREMELY FRIENDLY!!! I cannot stress that enough.
PHL GE Location:
Go to International Arrivals (Arrivals Rd Philadelphia, PA) Terminal A Parking garage. Do not pull into the short-term. Enter the garage. Drive to third floor of garage. When on the third floor make right turns and you will eventually see A West. There is an entry door on the side (where you will find at least one officer smoking at a time) which takes you straight to the CBP GE Entry office. There is a button outside of the GE door (which the door is loudly marked by a giant floor sign) to the left of the door that doesn't look much like a button at all. Press and they will answer you.

But in subsequent weeks, more slots opened. I was unable to shift to these, but for a busy place like LAX TBIT, it was nice to see that it's worthwhile checking every few days or a week.
I'll also say that others who applied had learned of other offices in metro Los Angeles--the list includes The Usual Airports, but there are a few which are labeled with rather obscure information. One person made an appointment at an office in Culver City.
So if you want as early as possible, look carefully at the list of offices/venues, and test out anything that looks possible--even mystery codes--you can always change/cancel if it turns out to be somewhere across the country.
I'll add that the officers at LAX TBIT with whom I spoke (front desk and interview) were patient and good natured.

SFO advice: grabbed two perfect interview slots for Tues Aug 2nd (half an hour apart!) at around midnight last night. One popped up ten minutes after the other so I think it might have been a couple/family who walked in. Twenty minutes before that I saw them add a ton of slots for October weekends that hadn't existed before (although they are now all gone this morning). Then, the July 29 interview I gave up for this reschedule seemed to hang around for longer than I would've expected. So I would suggest checking in around midnight if you're playing the refresh game on the site - less traffic, and based on the other Global Entry thread, I think people might be having successful walk-ins around then because of the shift change.

I gave up on Boston...the Houlton Maine crossing on I-95 has appointments three days a week Tu-Th in the Woodstock (Belleville) NB customs warehouse just over the border in Canada. Multiple appointment times open the rest of August each of the three days each week. 5 hours up from Boston..not great but wife's GOES expires in February so at least we get it renewed before the expiration.
And I thought starting the renewal seven months ahead of time would be fine for a Logan appointment!
But, yes, something seriously wrong with this setup that even people starting so far ahead of time have to take off work and drive 10 hours to get an interview.

I was looking at Houston Downtown for GE appointment and it says "Currently there are no available appointments at this enrollment center. Please check later for openings or choose another enrollment center"
So, I'm afraid they've closed GE at Downtown Houston. Anyone has any recent GE appointments there ?

Sadly, that applies to me. Warrick RI isn't much better at April '17. Bit of a rude shock after just getting my conditional approval today. Being based in Boston with no planned travel in the near future and no real alternative sites up in New England... Might try my luck at walking in to BOS or Warrick; any annectodal reports for either?
