About the Global Entry Program
Club Newport assists individuals and professionals in planning their ideal vacation or business trip by offering significant savings on travel. Enrollment unlocks access to the members-only portal where subscribers conveniently shop and book online. Each purchase accumulates reward points that can be used on future travel or gift cards and is supported by the Club’s unique 110% best price guarantee.
With thousands of subscribers enjoying the benefits of membership and more frequent travel opportunities, many also find that embarking on international journeys can take a little work. While the Club’s complimentary concierge services can ease the trouble of finding and securing the best deals and itineraries, navigating the airport also presents its own challenges.
The customs process requires those returning from a trip abroad to be screened by US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents upon arrival. Though the process is not complicated, getting through the checkpoint is often a time intensive and tiring process. Filling out forms, waiting in long lines, and interacting with border agents, can add a ton of stress to what’s meant to be a relaxing trip.
*Club Newport Travel Tip*
Fortunately, the CBP operates a program to help speed up and simplify certain procedures. Known as the Global Entry program, the initiative identifies pre-approved travelers and eliminates the need for interaction with customs agents. Additionally, approved Global Entry travelers have access to other benefits such as TSA Precheck, which helps them speed through security lines when checking in for a flight.
To qualify for Global Entry, American citizens, permanent residents, and citizens of select foreign countries have the option of becoming “trusted travelers.” Applicants simply pay a $100 fee and attend an in-person interview in order to receive the status. Once approved, Global Entry travelers can speed through customs by going to a reserved automated kiosk.

Helpful Tips for Sleeping on a Plane
Club Newport is a members-only vacation club offering customized travel packages to destinations around the world. With prices backed by a 110% lowest price guarantee and tiered enrollment options designed to suit any budget and lifestyle, Club Newport aims to make worldwide travel an obtainable luxury for everyone. Reward points, concierge services, guest passes, and bonus resort stays are all added benefits packed into every membership.
As any frequent flier would attest, the journey to your destination is not always the most relaxing or enjoyable experience. Long flights can be challenging for many reasons and sleep is an excellent way to pass the time, so long as you can make yourself comfortable enough. Club Newport’s concierge professionals have these practical tips for nestling in and catching some z’s.
Book early to snatch up one of the coveted window seats. You can rest your head against the side of the plane cabin and distance yourself from passing carts and people in the aisle. Here, you’ll also be able to control the amount of light entering through the window. Unless you require extra legroom, think twice about booking a seat in an exit row, as most of these don’t recline.
Be certain to pack a few comfort items in your carry on. A cozy sweater or blanket to keep warm and noise-canceling earphones will help you rest easier. For extra long flights, you might consider a Melatonin or anti-motion sickness supplement to ensure a more restful experience.

Deciding Whether You Need Travel Insurance
Club Newport assists both individuals and professionals in planning their ideal vacation or business trip by offering significant savings on travel arrangements. Enrollment unlocks access to the members-only portal where travelers can enjoy the convenience of online shopping and booking by viewing the thousands of available resorts, hotels, cruise excursions, and car rentals from around the world. Each purchase accumulates reward points that can be used for future travel or gift cards and is supported by the Club’s unique 110% best price guarantee.
Beyond significant savings, benefits of membership also include guest passes, full-range concierge services at no additional cost, and bonus resort stays starting at only $49 A WEEK! Travel has never been more affordable and rewarding than with a Club Newport Vacation Membership.
Aside from finding the best deals and accommodations for your trip, an important factor to consider before booking is whether or not to purchase travel insurance, and which kind. Here are a few points you may want to consider before making a decision.
Assess the financial risks of an unexpected situation. Since many flights and hotel bookings are either non-refundable or become non-refundable after a certain date, you might consider travel insurance that permits you to cancel for any reason. This may be particularly beneficial for any trip that you’re planning well in advance (6-12 months). Should you need to cancel your trip for an unforeseen reason, this insurance will refund your expenses.
Trip interruption insurance is another option that could help you recover costs. This type of coverage reimburses non-recoverable expenses associated with having to cut your trip short or significantly change your plans once you have already embarked.
In addition to the logistical portion of the trip, consider what would happen if you fell ill while traveling. Medical travel insurance protects you by paying any medical expenses should you suffer an accident or get sick while on your trip. Some medical plans don’t provide coverage outside of your own country, so it’s important to speak with your insurance representative before deciding if extra insurance is needed. In the case of extreme emergency, medical evacuation insurance covers the cost of transportation to a hospital or back home via a private transport service.

A Few Reasons to Consider Taking a Cruise
With Club Newport Vacation Membership, individuals have booked more than 400,000 reservations to the tune of over $29 million in savings. Members are provided with exemplary service and affordable access to vacation planning all over the world, from cross-continental road trips to international cruises.
Travel experts and Club concierge recommend vacation-goers experience at least one cruise excursion in their lifetime. As one of the ultimate in unique traveling experiences, cruises embark on leisurely routes that allow travelers to experience multiple locations and activities without having to struggle through the airport and take long car rides on unfamiliar roads. Passengers can select from an array of on and off-board activities while the experienced crew handles every detail and can be a great source of information for suggestions and area knowledge.
Cruises provide options for both an oceanic and land-based vacation. Individuals who love the ocean can spend days looking out over the vast, open waters while also stopping to take trips to beautiful beaches and seaside towns and cities. Meanwhile, those more interested in diving into the rich local culture can occupy themselves with ship activities and the various architecture, cityscapes, and natives that they encounter during land excursions.
Finally, cruises are a great place to meet new people. Newly married couples, families, and independent travelers are just a few of the kinds of travelers one can expect to find on a cruise.
