Improving Travel for Families Act

S 5538, the Improving Travel for Families Act, would change U.S. travel regulations to better serve families using Global Entry. It allows children under 11 traveling with a parent or guardian enrolled in Global Entry to use the expedited lane upon arrival at U.S. airports, instead of requiring separate enrollment. The bill also lets parents schedule one interview appointment for themselves and up to four children seeking Global Entry enrollment. This directly affects families with young children who travel internationally with a Global Entry member. The changes aim to simplify the process for families seeking expedited entry.
