I knew I would be out of practice (it has been 4 years) for when we started traveling again.......but basic "help question" :
Looking at our Global Entry cards, re: our Trusted Traveler Numbers to use for airline reservations, am I correct that the number to use is the 9-digit number in the upper left corner of the back of the card (the one in smaller type)?
I feel like I am entering kindergarten................
I am not American, so can't help with GE, but I understand the feeling of being in Travel 101 again. Rest assured, your travel chops will return once you get on the road.
That sounds exactly right, Maggie, but I will go find my card and confirm.
Welcome to the world of “re-zoomed travel”.
Maria, thank you....gosh, I hope.
Also, for others, we went with that number, and the airline accepted it, so we will keep our fingers crossed that was the right one. But, please "grade my homework," if we flunked and used the wrong number.
Safe and happy travels to all from this experienced traveler who feels like a bit of a "newbie" again :o
Lola, thanks. Reassurances welcome.
Yes, you are correct. Nine digit number on upper left on the back of your card.
Happy travels!
Thank you. Whew!!! Now, I get to move from kindergarten to "first grade."
And hopefully you love it even more when you come home! I am usually able to just walk up to the machine, wait for the photo (no printing/no paper/no passport), and head to the counter, where almost without a pause, they say immediately “TexasTravelMom”, you’re good.” And done in 60 seconds.
The last time we traveled, for Global Entry, the passports were inserted into the special kiosk, and seems I recall doing something with our fingers for electronic prints, before (I think we received a piece of paper) then proceeding to present to the official with our passport. So, the photo recognition will definitely be easier :)
It's been sooooooo long................
Even our airport has been totally expanded and significantly updated, and it is definitely busier than ever!
Thank you all!
