Trusted Traveler Programs

Some travelers have found that Trusted Traveler programs can expedite long waits at customs
when re entering the U.S. There are currently three programs available: Global Entry, NEXUS,
and SENTRI. These three programs also include TSA Pre-Check, which allows you to use a
dedicated security line at participating airports, or you can apply solely for TSA Pre-Check.
TIP: Keep in mind that not all airports and airlines participate in these programs. You may want to

To apply for a Trusted Traveler program or TSA Pre-Check, typically you will be asked to pay
an application fee (varies by program) and schedule a background check and/or an interview.
If you are approved, you will be issued a Known Traveler Number (KTN). Your KTN is valid for
a set number of years, based on the conditions of the program. Please see the U.S. Customs
and Border Protection website for more details on each of these programs: www.cbp.gov/

at www.tsa.gov/precheck.

If you are enrolled in TSA Pre-Check (or a Trusted Traveler program that includes it), you
must provide your KTN to the airlines.

Emergency Photocopies of Key Documents

We recommend you carry color photocopies of key documents including the photo page of
your passport plus any applicable visas, air itinerary, credit cards (front and back), and an
alternative form of ID. Add emergency phone numbers like your credit card company and the
number for your travel protection plan. Store copies separate from the originals.

Overseas Taxes & Fees

This tour may have taxes and fees that cannot be included in your airline ticket price because
you are required to pay them in person onsite. All taxes are subject to change without notice
and can be paid in cash (either U.S. or local currency). If applicable, you will receive a list of
these fees with your Final Documents.
