10. TSA Pre Check/Global Entry

This is purely optional and is more of a bonus than anything else, but having TSA Pre Check and Global Entry can save a ton of time in US airport security and customs. TSA Pre Check passengers have an expedited security line and aren’t required to remove shoes, liquids, or laptops. Global Entry passengers have a separate (much shorter) line than normal passengers for customs, making that process much faster. Global Entry is only $100 for 5 years and includes TSA Pre Check ($85/5 years), making it an easy recommendation.
