No. My whole question has to do with going to the destination.
Either way you fly you're going to a destination.
And since your experience is very much not mine or DH's when traveling out of the US, I had to understand the whole question.
And thats what doesn't make sense to me. If we have been vetted and have Global Entry, why can't we have expedited lines at the beginning of our international trips?
Sounds like this is an airport specific thing.
There is no separate terminal for international departures at SeaTac. You will see international and domestic planes side by side. Customs is on the bottom floor so when the international planes arrive they just adjust the jetways so the passengers walk straight into customs.
Exactky. So at SeaTac as long as DH's
GE info is either in his airline profile, or pasted into the spot for certain airlines (united) during online checkin, he gets precheck when leaving the US. And I would get it with my nexus number (I just haven't flown internationally since June when I got the card). Because you travel to the intl gates after you get into the secure part.
Are there *any* precheck lines at the intl terminal at Logan? If so (though it looks like you haven't seen any), next time try typing/pasting in the number during online checkin, if in the past you've been letting it pull from your airline account especially if you're on United. See if there's a difference.
Fascinating page I just found.

Assuming intl terminal is E, my quick check there never saw that terminal pop up for precheck.
And on flyertalk I found a thread saying that if pre is open at terminal C you can go through (assuming your boarding pass shows the precheck info on it) then walk to E. A poster there gave a link:
