One of the biggest mistakes I have ever made was getting just TSA Precheck instead of Global Entry.
(I might be being dramatic but whateva)
For about 30 dollars or so more than Precheck, you can get Global Entry (which included Precheck) and breeze through customs. Young, dumb, new to the travel lifestyle Sio didn't know that, and just got Precheck. And as my salary increased, and so did my desire to leave the country, I kicked myself every time on the way back home fornhaving to stand in that long customs line.
Not. No. Mo'.
A frequent traveler who joined my safari in Tanzania told me about Mobile Passport. It's an app that you download, and about 4 hours before you get to customs, you fill out the information. Then, you enter the designated line (usually the same line diplomats go through) and boom! You're through in minutes.
Pro tip: Even if you have Global Entry, still download since its free. I know people who say that Mobile Passport line is shorter than Global Entry sometimes. #WheelsUp
