expensive things that are worth the money travel edition. Travel Edition these are my travel non negotiables. As someone in my mid twenties who's been a seasoned traveler. Like & follow for more money content + tips. 1. TSA Precheck & Global Entry. First one on the list is having TSA Pre Check and Global Entry. If there's anything about me I am taking every shortcut I can get at the airport. When you have TSA Precheck, there is a separate line that you can go through. Your ID is not checked because it's already gone through a system. The lines are generally shorter. And when it comes to coming back into the states and I am standing in customs lines, I am going to Global Entry takes literally less than a minute to get out of the customs line. What a lot of people don't know is that if you sign up for Global Entry, TSA Precheck is automatically included. You do one interview with law enforcement for a background check and that lasts for five years. Some credit cards offer Global Entry as a reward or you can sign up on the Global Entry website. Second, I am only taking non-stop flights. Back in college when I wanted to save money, I would take the cheapest flight possible. But as I got older, you realize that time is money and the time spent taking the cheapest airfare and having to stop before your next destination is just too much of a time sunk. 3. Premium economy for cross-ocean trips. Third thing on the list is premium economy at a minimum for cross ocean plane trips. A lot of airlines lately have less and less standard service for just regular economy and when it comes to long haul flights, I wanna be more comfortable. I wanna be able to recline my seat a little bit more, have a little bit of leg room.
