These are great suggestions. I agree with each of them. For jet lag, I highly suggest taking "No Jet Lag". You can purchase it on Amazon. I swear by it. Even after flying to Australia, I was good to go until bed time the night of my arrival.

It won't be worth the few dollars you saved through an online travel agency (Expedia, Hotels.com, etc) if something goes wrong. Just ask all of those people that had trips cancelled during the Covid shutdown. Best to use a travel agent who will do all of the work (good and bad) for you, or book direct and do the work yourself.

Is booking travel directly with a company better than using a third-party service, such as an online travel agency? Here's everything you should know before you make a reservation.

It’s so important to check with the country you are traveling to for how long you need left on your passport prior to expiration, and if any visas are required. Some visas are easier to obtain than others. Always check well in advance of your departure for the country’s requirements. If you book your travel through me, I check for you.

ICYMI: Global Entry is about to get more expensive.

Starting on Oct. 1, 2024, the application fee for a five-year membership will increase from $100 to $120, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said yesterday.

That's a 20% jump in the program, which offers vetted travelers a fast track through passport control upon re-entry to the U.S. following an international trip, plus TSA PreCheck access.

Though the fee hike may feel surprising, CBP notes it's the first fee increase the program has seen since the agency launched it in 2008.

And Global Entry isn't the only Trusted Traveler program getting a fee hike. The fee for Nexus, which expedites travelers' crossing from Canada into the U.S., will also cost $120 as of Oct. 1. That's up from $50 currently.

Sentri, which does the same for both Canada and Mexico, already costs $122.

Notably, no fee hike was announced Tuesday for the standalone TSA PreCheck program. The cost for first-time PreCheck applicants actually dropped in 2022, from $85 to $78 for a five-year membership.

If you're a frequent international traveler, the $120 cost is a relatively modest investment over five years for a program that gets you both the expedited experience at customs and at TSA checkpoints.

Plus, several popular travel credit cards currently reimburse the $100 Global Entry application fee. It remains to be seen whether the cards will update their perks to match the increase.

Do you have Global Entry? What do you think of it?
