Navigating Airport Security: Which Fast Pass is Worth the Cost?
Experts recommend federal programs like TSA PreCheck and Global Entry for frequent fliers during the busy 2023 summer travel season. However, long processing times may make it difficult for new applicants to take advantage before traveling this summer. TSA PreCheck costs $78 for new enrollees and lasts five years, with several credit cards covering the fee as a customer perk. The program aims to cut down screening time in airports, and members don't have to remove their shoes, belts, or light jackets when going through airport security.
