At Town & Country Travel in Pittsford, NY, we specialize in helping clients book the best in luxury and international travel, including assisting with hotel and airline reservations. We’re also happy to offer advice on the best traveler programs based on your specific travel needs.

Here are four trusted traveler programs our staff at Town & Country Travel recommends:

• TSA Pre-Check: This program is open to U.S. citizens and U.S. lawful permanent residents. As a member of the TSA Pre-Check program, you can enjoy expedited screening processes at the airport. Once you pre-enroll online and visit an enrollment center to provide fingerprints and a copy of your photo ID, you can enjoy these benefits for five years at a total cost of $85. This program is best for travelers who primarily fly within the U.S. No passport is required to enroll in this program.
• Global Entry: If you’re an international traveler, Global Entry may be the right option for you. This program is also open to U.S. citizens, U.S. lawful permanent residents and some international citizens. A passport is required for this program, and it incurs a $100 fee for a five-year membership. Once you complete the online application and visit an enrollment center for screening, you’ll be able to enjoy expedited check-ins at airports in the U.S. and at U.S. borders.
• Nexus: If you tend to book airline reservations to Canada frequently, Nexus is the perfect travel membership for you. Open to U.S. and Canadian citizens and lawful residents, you’ll be able to enjoy expedited processing at U.S. and Canada borders. This membership costs $50 and lasts for five years.
• Sentri: The Sentri program requires proof of citizenship and admissibility documentation. Membership costs $122.25 and lasts for five years. As part of the Sentri program, you receive expedited processing at land borders between the U.S. and Mexico.
