Experienced travelers use three secret weapons to speed through airport security and make screenings less intrusive: TSA PreCheck, Global Entry and CLEAR®. For land crossings between the U.S. and Canada, NEXUS offers a similar speedy service. Each is designed to make travel easier, but the way each works differs.

TSA PreCheck provides dedicated lines and expedited screening at domestic airports in the United States. Global Entry allows expedited entry into the United States for international travelers and includes TSA PreCheck. NEXUS provides dedicated lanes at select border crossings between the U.S. and Canada while also offering full TSA PreCheck and Global Entry benefits when flying. CLEAR provides identity verification and a shortcut through airport screening.

In this article, we’ll discuss the differences between each program and help you decide which is the best one for your travel style.
