Just got my Global Entry card... will be using it for the first time next week MIA to ZRH. My husband is an international pilot and uses his all of the time. Well worth the money. My fave part will be the TSA precheck line!

So what you are saying is, you cah use TSA Pre Check with the GE card?
Yep, sure can! TSA: Participation
And My2tailwaggers, just because your last post talked about using it MIA-ZRH, you do know that card is basically useless outside of the US, right? Granted, it's good for TSA in the US (and only the US, maybe cities with US preclearance) but you won't be able to really use it until the end of your return trip.
Boss used it at CVG yesterday for Precheck. Just put his bags on the conveyor and walked thru w/shoes on. He was in uniform, but crew has to follow TSA regs like everyone else, otherwise. Just have to show the card w/ID.

They have a lane for crew (local and commuters) but they still have to take off shoes and remove laptops/toiletries like real people. All that gets him is a look at his ID and front of the line. Even in DCA, he went thru to Precheck for rapid admission, but then sent off to reg lane for reg scanning. (he hadn't rec'd new GE card) I used my GE and went to the PCk lane. (but I waited for him, like a good wife)

Good to know that crew can use precheck with just GE card and ID. Thought a BP was required. One thing I hope they change is allowing pax to use the precheck lane when traveling international. That and expanding it to more airports sooner rather than later.

My husband had a BP ( I always print one for him or he does when he arrives at connection--makes no difference unless you have GE.) GE is worth every penny, contrary to what someone here has said. $100 for 5 years?? Heavens to Betsy--I think of Forest Gump quote....and I don't mean "life is like a box of chocolates"!
