Tsa pre vs clear vs global entry

Clear and Global Entry are very different programs because Clear saves you time going through security screenings, while Global Entry saves you time at customs and immigration upon arrival in the U.S. after traveling internationally.

TSA PreCheck ^® provides expedited security screening benefits for flights departing from U.S. Airports. Global Entry provides the TSA PreCheck ^® benefit plus expedited U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) screening for international air travelers when entering the United States.

TSA PreCheck speeds travelers through the physical screening. Global Entry expedites clearing U.S. Border Control and Customs when arriving on an international flight. You can use CLEAR alone or pair it with TSA PreCheck and Global Entry.

Global Entry members are eligible for TSA PreCheck benefits.
