TSA PreCheck vs. Global Entry — which one is actually worth it? This week on Cabin Pressure with Shawn & G, we break down airport security programs, customs shortcuts, and the travel apps that can save you serious time. Then it goes fully off the rails with crew drama, therapy dog Rex, gross passenger behavior, a wild Dublin layover, an accidental kirtan concert, and one of the most unhinged onboard emergency stories we’ve ever told. If you love flight attendant stories, airline gossip, travel tips, and airport chaos, this one’s for you. 

Travel programs 

• TSA PreCheck official page
  pricing, enrollment, and benefits. TSA says first-time application takes about 5 minutes online plus about 10 minutes in person, and most applicants get a decision in 3–5 days, though some can take up to 60 days. 
• Global Entry official page
  expedited U.S. re-entry, includes TSA PreCheck, $120 for 5 years. CBP says it’s best for frequent international travelers. 
• Mobile Passport Control (MPC) official page
  Free CBP app for eligible travelers returning to the U.S.

• SENTRI official page
