For the smoothest arrival, we highly recommend activating your eSIM Wings before your flight touches down. Navigating US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) can sometimes involve queues, and having an active internet connection allows you to seamlessly connect with loved ones or utilize the Mobile Passport Control (MPC) app to potentially expedite your entry process. Arrive connected, wander with ease!
