re: MSY to Europe Flights - help needed (May 24-Jun 2 window)

TSA pre only gets you through domestic security quicker. It does nothing for getting through customs. Depending on the airport’s international inbound traveler volume, it can be a long, long slog. If you’re gonna apply for Global Entry, give yourself 2-3 months to go through the process, and see how far you are from the nearest interview center. MSY is an interview center.
