GLOBAL ENTRY
The background program from U.S. Customs and Border allows international travelers to rush through some specific airports by checking in at kiosks. It is $100/5 years but includes Transportation Security Administration’s PreCheck.
SEAT UPGRADES
To enjoy extra leg room, you don’t have to sit in an exit row. For instance, Fee-heavy Spirit Airlines adds between $1 and $150 to the cost of a cut-rate ticket for premium seats, while JetBlue’s Even More Space seats’ price starts at $10.
To get the most of your money, don’t forget to check useful websites like SeatExpert and SeatGuru.
AIRLINE LOUNGES
Although passengers in premium fare classes, airline rewards members, or lounge members are the only ones who can benefit from this perk, anyone from the general public can enjoy it as well by paying a day pass of $29-$75.
Passengers who are expecting a long layover have access to plush seating, free Wi-Fi, drinks, and snacks.
TSA PRECHECK
The TSA PreCheck costs $85 for 5 years and requires a background check. However, it pleasantly lets you keep your belt, shoes, light jacket on, and your laptop in a bag while going through a security line that’s exclusive to members.
LUGGAGE DELIVERY
Those flying with their little ones have the hardest time getting through security and onto a flight. Fortunately, American is ready to take about 10 bags within forty miles of the airport! All you need to do is pay $30-$50, plus, an extra dollar per each mile for the next sixty miles. United offers a service like this too.
