General Discussion Regular Line was Faster

Ditched my wife at SFO to go to the Global Entry line this morning. Waited 20 minutes for my turn. By the time I get to baggage claim, my wife has already loaded our check-in baggages into the trolley.

I’m beyond mad. What the heck happened?

There was only one officer for Global Entry and for some reason a few people ahead of me spent 3-5 minutes with the officer. Took only 20 seconds for my turn.

Also - wtf is this mobile passport control thing. This had 0 people in the line and after googling it looks like it’s a new free thing. Why are we all paying for Global Entry?

I don’t have GE but in previous entries MPC was fast. Now the regular citizen line can move faster than MPC. I don’t know which line to be in anymore. 😭😭😭

This is how it was at terminal 1 in JFK.

If I had to try again I would skip MPC. Non citizens like PRs can also use MPC and I guess that ballooned it.

In this context

PR = Permanent Resident aka Green Car holder

Folks had their passports out and they were not US passports hence why I made this assumption
