Would You Stand in Line for 90 Minutes at Airport Security?

The answer is yes if you were at JFK Airport Sunday.  We had to connect through JFK on a flight from Antigua to DC and I heard that people took 90 minutes to get through.  Thank GOODNESS we had TSA Security Pre-Check!  I can’t say enough about this, get Global Entry/Pre-Check.  We whizzed through immigration while a line snaked row after row and spent 2 minutes going back through security for our connecting flight.  PRICELESS – ok it really cost $100 for 2 years.  HOWEVER, if you get certain cards, which include the following, they will reimburse you the fee:

Citi Prestige

AMEX Platinum

Ritz-Carlton Rewards

Citi AAdvantage Executive World Elite MasterCard

I would say ‘definitely worth it’ even if you have to pay the fee yourself.
