Two commonly asked questions when comparing TSA PreCheck and Global Entry are:

If I have Global Entry, do I need TSA PreCheck? In short, no. Global Entry provides the same access to TSA PreCheck security lines. However, ensure you enter your Global Entry number when booking your flight and that your boarding pass includes the TSA PreCheck symbol.
Is my Global Entry number the same as TSA PreCheck? Yes, they can be used interchangeably when booking flights. Just be aware that the number will be referred to as a Known Traveler Number.

In brief, Global Entry and TSA PreCheck may share the same benefits when it comes to boarding flights in the United States. However, Global Entry could offer the additional benefit of expedited customs when arriving in the United States after an international trip.

It is important to note that not everyone with a Global Entry membership will be eligible for TSA PreCheck. For example, some citizens of other countries are eligible for Global Entry but will not be eligible for TSA PreCheck.
