NAS (Nassau) is very busy today, but we made it through much faster with a few tricks for our journey back home
1. Priority airline status got us through the airline counter quickly. Our Southwest A List Preferred status allowed for free checked bags and preferred seating
2. Be kind to the employees - they'll guide you to the next step efficiently. It turns out we needed to go to a different terminal building.
3. TSA Pre check. Today this line was about 1/5th of the standard line. Apply and get approved before your trip. Some credit cards offer a credit toward the cost.
4. Download and use the MPC App (Mobile Passport Control) for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. This line was also about 1/5th the length of the standard line. And it's free.
