By now you’re familiar with Global Entry, the program that allows U.S. travelers to fly through immigration at the airport. Of course, with Global Entry, there’s a fee and an interview process.
Now welcome Mobile Passport Control, a new app for iOS and Android that lets you skip the lines at participating airports. You’ll need to download the free app and upon landing fill out a customs form, submit a selfie and get a QR code a Customs officer can scan with your passport.
It’s all free, and requires no interview. It doesn’t let you skip the lines completely, of course, but it does help you — and your fellow passengers — move through the system faster.
“Think of it like a tollbooth,” John Wagner of U.S. Customs & Border Control told Travel + Leisure. “Global Entry is your E-ZPass lane; this is your exact-change lane.”
So far, the app is available at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, where it launched in 2014. It will roll out to 20 of the busiest U.S. airports this year.

Apr 9, 2025Find Inner Peace in India, the Birthplace of Yoga
How far would you travel in pursuit of inner peace? Though the wellness industry has grown in popularity for quite a while, he business skyrocketed post-pandemic, with more and more travelers booking yoga retreats in the name of serenity, spirituality and, of course, self-care. When I decided it was zen I sought, I figured I should travel to its very birthplace: India. Though the idea of traveling in India initially felt more exciting than relaxing, I found the contrast between the bustling activity outside and the quiet reflection of my yoga practice to be an intoxicating combination.

Apr 8, 2025Australia’s Amazing Gold Coast Buzzes with Family-Friendly Activities
In Springbrook National Park, about 90 minutes south of Brisbane, the sky is aglow. But this isn’t the sort of glittery glimmer I expected from Australia’s buzzy Gold Coast. I’d heard about the sun-dappled beaches framed with scintillating sand, the sunscreen-slathered bodies at play, the way the ocean water whirls with what looks like bits of gold dust, the amusement parks, the meter maids clad in bikinis, and the high-rise hotels with their reflective-mirrored windows and popular bars that blare tunes beside the waves. Before arriving at what I imagined to look a bit like Miami’s South Beach in places (and it does along the coast in parts), I hadn’t focused much on thoughts of ancient trees, rugged outback and night skies luminous with glowworms. This nighttime nature foray, however, shows me another version of the Gold Coast ... one where nocturnal safaris veritably light up my life.
