My new fav travel app
Im not a frequent flyer by any measure, but decided to give it a try for the convenience potential. Mobile passport did not disappoint!
I downloaded the app before leaving home and added my passport info. Then returning to FLL last night I filled out the "new trip" form in airplane mode and as soon as we touched down I turned off airplane and submitted. I got a receipt in about 5 secs. I was seated in row 6 but used the bathroom when I got off the plane. So when I got to passport control there was already over 100 people there, but no one in the mobile passport line! I went to the official scanned my receipt, showed him my passport, less than a minute! I was the second person at the baggage carousel! I had to wait about 10 mins for the carousel to even start, then lots of other bags came off before mine. And again there was a long line at customs. But again I went to the mobile passport line where there was no one! The official saw one other person from the other line then me! I felt like I was cheating to get such great service.
Except for waiting on the bag carousel the entire process (of both checks) took under 5 mins. Unheard of (in my book) for an international arrival!
Because of the unexpectedly short time I got outside before my ride had even left home. They were used to waiting an hour after landing to go to the airport! I look forward to the next trip, now that we know the drill...
This is a must have app for me!
