Once you submit your application, you can fulfill your necessary interview at an Enrollment on Arrival kiosk at an eligible airport after returning from an overseas trip. Washington Dulles airport also features the only Enrollment on Departure office, making it advantageous if you’re taking a flight abroad from that location. (There are also additional enrollment centers across the nation where you could have your interview, but scheduling an appointment may sometimes be challenging.)
If you are already a member, verify your expiration date. Members can initiate the renewal process one year prior to their membership expiry. Renewing ahead of time is very beneficial: Travelers who renew prior to their membership expiration retain the ability to continue using Global Entry perks for 24 months beyond the expiration date.
Establish a savings habit for significant trips
In 2024, the typical expense for a one-week holiday in the US was $1,991 for an individual, according to data from the banking application Chime. For couples traveling together, this figure increased to $3,982.
Those figures may seem overwhelming, but if you begin a savings strategy at the appropriate time, you can achieve those milestones in 2025 with relative ease. The secret is to start saving early and setting aside small amounts of money in a separate account designated as your travel fund, suggests Ted Rossman, a senior industry analyst at Bankrate. Rossman advises labeling the travel savings account with something enjoyable, such as “Paris 2025”—this will encourage you to stay committed and discourage you from using that account for other expenses, he states.
Even saving small amounts—say $40 weekly—will accumulate if you can manage to do it consistently. “It’s simpler to save in increments rather than in a single sum,” Rossman explains, pointing out that setting aside just $38 weekly will total $2,000 by year’s end. To maintain consistency, automate the deposits into your savings account. “Creating automatic transfers guarantees that you’ll adhere to your goal, and you’re less likely to miss what you don’t see,” Rossman adds.
Establish price alerts for dream destinations
