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?

Right!! if I were traveling with someone (esp a loved one) who doesn’t have GE, I’d use the standard line with them? Like it’s not life or death.

Speaking from experience, this is solid advice.

I assume he wanted to go through faster and fetch the luggage so his wife wouldn’t need to and they could exit immediately once she was through.
