Do I have any international travelers?
There is something I highly recommend, which is called the Mobile Passport.
What is a Mobile Passport? You basically download the app, 'upload' [scan] your passport barcode, take a selfie, and answer some questions, then you skip the immigration line.
Is it a free app? Y E S YES! YES! YES!
Did I have any trouble accessing the app? I did not, I used my i-phone to download the app in the app store.
**Tip: Don't Worry About Your Selfie Angle. It was 'awkward' was trying to get the right selfie angle because the app is very particular the angle you take your photo in. I ended up with a horrible angle, and probably had a few people think I was being unnecessary but who cares, I skipped that long line in the end, that's all that matters for me.
How long did it take? Less than 10 minutes. **Tip: Give it a Try.
I actually downloaded my Mobile Passport while I was in the immigration line and noticed how long the wait could potentially be for me and quickly downloaded the app and skipped over to the next line and I was the only one there. LUCKY ME! 🍀
How does it compare to Global Entry? I personally can not compare because I do not have Global Entry. Once I do, I will update you all.
How did I hear about this? from the wonderful flight attendants on Singapore Airlines. They made an announcement about the mobile passport 30 minutes before landing.
What a time saver it was!
Final Thoughts: While everyone else was still in the immigration line, I already got all my luggage and made my way out. I highly recommend everyone to download this if you didn't already.
