GATE 1 TRAVEL (Washington DC) - All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go

Renew your Global Entry now before the price goes up

Skipping long immigration lines will soon set you back $120.

The price of avoiding long airport lines is going up.

Customs and Border Protection announced this week that fees are going up for expedited security programs including Global Entry, which gives users faster clearance when entering the country and lets them use expedited lanes at security checkpoints. The cost will increase from $100 to $120 on Oct. 1.

The agency said in a news release that the price has not changed in 15 years and that the new fee is “better reflecting the program costs.”

“As these programs have matured and expanded, updating the fee structures is critical to the continuation and management of the programs,” the news release says.

Customs and Border Protection says on its website that it can take “several months” to get an application processed. Customers need to fill out an application online, await conditional approval, then take the final step of doing an in-person interview. That can happen at an enrollment center ahead of travel or upon arriving in the country at participating airports.

The changes come with one perk for families: Those under 18 who apply for Global Entry with a parent or legal guardian who is already a member or also applying will no longer have to pay a fee. They have been required to pay $100 with their application.

For those who find the new price too steep — or the uncertain wait time too onerous — the agency suggests another option: Mobile Passport Control .

The app, which some call the “best-kept secret in air travel,” lets travelers submit their photo, customs declaration and passport to streamline their return to the country at approved airports. There’s often a separate line for MPC at airports.

“Travelers who successfully use the MPC app will no longer have to complete a paper form and may be provided a designated queue,” the Customs and Border Protection website says. “As a result, travelers may experience shorter wait times, less congestion and efficient processing.”

Danube River Cruise

This review is late in coming but I still wanted to do it. We loved our River Cruise with Gate 1. To be honest I was a little nervous because I just couldn't find a lot of info on them. Unpacking once and seeing so many beautiful places, with great tours that were included were just wonderful, .the guides were so knowledgeable, their English was excellent and the cities were fascinating. My husband has a dairy allergy and they sent the menu to our room dairy every morning if what would be served that day. They asked him to choose what he wanted and they would make sure his meal was dairy free. That level of service was amazing. The only thing I would say is that for some people, Gate 1 would not be luxurious enough. The meals were excellent but not extravagant. The wines were good but not amazing. We were just fine with that since we can take two full vacations with a company like Gate 1 for LESS than the cost of one Viking river cruise. Once the pandemic is over we will book again with them

My wife and I fully pay for an Amsterdam River Cruise for April 10, 2020 with airfare. This include business airfare for two. Due to Covid 19 the trip was cancel by the airline and the Gate 1. Getting the land /cruise package refund was no problem. Air France could not refund the airfare directly to me, since Gate 1 did the booking, so they said they will refund it directly to Gate 1. Per many Air France e-mails, they did this via a wire transfer to Gate 1 on Nov 28,2020 in their response to the Department of Transportation. As of this date Feb. 23, 2021, Gate ! denied every receiving such refund and have refused to contact Air France what happen to the $5,362.38. It appears that Gate 1 received the monies and will not acknowdge that they received it inorder to avoid refund. They did even try to check if they receive the monies on Nov. 28, 2020 in their accounting book/records. I have call them many times, but they never call back. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ALL.

We have taken three tours with Gate 1, and all were excellent. We had planned a tour in October which was cancelled due to covid19. Given that we weren't the only ones going through this, I think that Gate 1 did a great job of issuing a timely credit for the tour portion. But then they, to our surprise, went above and beyond, and were able to recover our paid airfare. We'll be booking with them again when the dust of this pandemic settles

Been on 8 trips with Gate1. Great guides, great food, lots of info about where you are. And reasonable. My guide Udom in Thailand was the best guide I ever had. Lots of unplanned stops and hilarious comments.

Buyer Beware. They do not take care of their customers. As soon as an issue arrives, they blame the partnering company. They function as an ONE STOP SHOP but if there's an issue with the flight, they wont help. I will NEVER travel with them or use this service again!

I am an advocate for this company. Have done four trips with and all outstanding, great guides and organization. I like many were victims of cancellations due to COVID. I had $20K+ invested in an African Safari that was cancelled. Also as part was Business Class Upgrades etc. I decided to ask for a full refund as per their terms. I received a 100% refund of this large amount, no questions asked. I will travel again with this company when things get back to normal.

Dems lose it over GOP plan to rename DC airport after Trump: 'Find a federal prison'

D emocrats are reacting furiously to a new GOP proposal to rename Washington, D.C.’s main international airport after former President Donald Trump .

Rep. Guy Reschenthaler, R-Pa., unveiled a bill backed by six of his fellow House Republicans to change the name of Washington Dulles International Airport to Donald J. Trump International Airport.

While the bill likely has little chance of being passed in the current Congress, it did succeed in triggering the ex-president’s critics when the legislative text was unveiled on Tuesday.

TRUMP SPOTLIGHTS 'BIDEN'S BORDER BLOODBATH' DURING STOP IN CRUCIAL BATTLEGROUND STATE HE LOST IN 2020

"Donald Trump is facing 91 felony charges. If Republicans want to name something after him, I’d suggest they find a federal prison," said Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., whose district partially covers Dulles.

The rest is in the district represented by Rep. Jennifer Wexton, D-Va., who sounded off, "This is just another in a long list of instances where extreme House Republicans have shown how unserious & delusional they are."

"Let's get to work on the real issues the American people sent us here for — not renaming an airport after someone who sought to undermine our democracy," Wexton said.

Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., said he was at the transit hub with worried families when Trump’s travel ban on terror-prone countries, most of them predominantly Muslim, was fueling "chaos" at major airports.

"One of Trump’s first acts as president was a racist Muslim ban that blocked permanent American residents from their own country," Beyer said. "I went to Dulles to try to help innocent people caught up in the chaos. I remember grandparents detained for hours as their terrified families waited."

Reschenthaler’s fellow Pennsylvanian, Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pa., said, "Dulles is an old, ugly airport that no one wants to see. So I think this is a fitting tribute to [the 45th president]."

Rep. Sean Casten, D-Ill., called the bill’s supporters "children, competing for the attention of an abusive parent."

Fox News Digital reached out to Reschenthaler for comment on the Democrats' response.

Reschenthaler told Fox News Digital of his bill on Tuesday, "As millions of domestic and international travelers fly through the airport, there is no better symbol of freedom, prosperity and strength than hearing ‘Welcome to Trump International Airport’ as they land on American soil."

Dulles is a busy international hub that's critical for lawmakers and other Washington officials' travel, particularly for airlines and routes that do not operate out of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, its smaller domestic counterpart also located in Virginia.

Dulles was ranked 33rd out of 764 U.S. airports in terms of passenger traffic in 2023, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. With domestic and international travel combined, roughly 25 million passengers went through Dulles last year.
