Jesse Collier got approved for Global Entry in 4 days. Global Entry is a program offered by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) that allows for swift entry through airport customs for pre-screened travelers. Currently, US citizens, lawful residents, and nationals from a handful of countries, such as Mexico and the United Kingdom, are eligible for Global Entry. You should receive your Global Entry card in the mail in about two weeks. Getting approved for Global Entry may seem daunting, but if you travel often, especially internationally, your future self will thank you.

I did the latter and tried hidden city ticketing via Skiplagged. That's when I saw an ad for Skiplagged, which championed its hidden city ticketing hack. In my case, the trip was from Los Angeles to New York City to Buffalo. Neither of those options were how I wanted to spend my first couple of days in New York City. Hidden city ticketing is positioned in the travel community as a "travel hack," but I'll tell anyone who asks that it's rarely worth the hassle.
