Later this month, the program plans to replace its mobile app.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s make one thing clear: If you typically get off a plane and rush to a blue kiosk after an international flight, nothing changes for you.<\/p>\n<p>But for the last few years, travelers returning to the U.S. have also had the option to skip the kiosks. Instead, those flyers could <a href=\"http:\/\/thepointsguy.com\/airline\/global-entry-mobile-app\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">enter their arrival information on a smartphone app<\/a>, then head right to an (even shorter) line.<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;height:auto;width:100%\"   src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/20240402_Global-Entry-Dulles-Airport_SCudahy_23.jpg\"\/>Global Entry mobile app signage at Dulles International Airport (IAD).
