If you are heading across the pond this summer and really, at this point, who isn't, right? Expect big crowds, long lines and a zoo at the airport. If you have TSA precheck, that will help with domestic flights. If you have Global Entry, that will help with international flights.
Its the Customs and Border Patrol Mobile Passport Control app and you can download it from Google Play or the Apple App Store.
Eligible travelers will be prompted to create a profile. You are eligible if you are entering the US through one of the 31 designated airports and 4 seaside terminals.
Once you enter the US either by plane or boat:
- you select your arrival terminal
- take a self photo
- answer a series of questions.
- Then submit.
Once approved which takes just a few minutes, you will receive a QR code.
Take the QR code straight to a the customs officer for a check and you can sail on thru.
No need to visit a kiosk or wait in line.
Important note, you still need to carry your US passport with you. But this app should reduce the time you wait in line. Look for a designated process line for those using the app.
I'm excited to try this app over the summer and report back to you!
