This morning I took the Red Line from Oriente station in Lisbon to get to Humberto Delgado Airport to catch my United Airlines flight to Newark NJ. The metro station was only ten minutes from the airport so I got there quickly. However getting through security was a different matter. My passport was checked at least five times before I got on the plane and the security line was very long.
When I arrived in Newark, I was soooooo very glad I had Global Entry because the passport check was huge, at least 45 minutes. I breezed through security with my Global Entry Pass and got on my plane to Saint Petersburg with my Global Entry TSA verification. If you are traveling outside the country on a regular basis, getting Global Entry is a must. It will save you many hours.
This morning I woke up in Saint Petersburg Florida and the world has returned to normal.
Welcome home my friend! Sounds like you had a great trip and everything went as planned.
This trip to Portugal was great fun. Portugal is a beautiful country and I managed to travel for nine days without any transportation glitches. I fell in love with the people, culture, history, architecture and food. ❤️
