In that time I have only "gotten lucky" twice. Every other time they push me to the main line. Strange thing was the one time we were told we couldn't use the PreCheck line by the women who took our luggage, we tried anyway and got right through. <br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I love my Nexus card as we are frequent visitors to BC and it has saved us SO much time in border lines but I wish I knew what I was doing wrong. I have asked Alaska and TSA but I keep getting the "it's just the luck of the draw" answer. <br /><br />We flew from YVR to HTR last summer and were cleared as PreChecked both ways by BA. Felt like it should have felt here.

Sounds like that's what happened to you in DFW.Carol Puccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16669416225994637704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582830510204229794.post-42941319643510527632013-12-10T08:39:56.863-08:002013-12-10T08:39:56.863-08:00Two quick comments re: TSA PreCheck.

My wife scurried through the PreCheck line, even though both of us had provided our Known Traveler ID's to Alaska prior to our journey. My boarding pass didn't include the PreCheck logo, hence the different experience. I was told by TSA staff that even if you have paid for the Global Entry program, you don't always qualify for the shorter lines.<br /><br />Also, I have an artificial knee, so even when I go through the typical PreCheck line, I still need to remove my shoes, coat, belt, watch, and empty my pockets before walking through the scanner. So far, paying to join the program has been positive; skipping the long lines is worth it when it works. We will be taking two overseas journeys in 2014, and I hope to skip some of the long wait times at Customs when coming back into the country. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
