MY EXPERIENCE WITH CLEAR

If you travel a lot then this post is for you!

What is CLEAR?

Clear Secure, Inc. is an American technology company that operates biometric travel document verification systems at some major airports and stadiums. You can skip a huge line while going through the security and go straight to CLEAR section.

After a passenger's identity is verified, a Clear representative will escort Clear users to the actual security screening area, bypassing everyone waiting in the first line. If you're also enrolled in TSA PreCheck, you'll go directly to the TSA PreCheck line. The major drawback of CLEAR is its hefty price tag - $189 a year! But if you travel a lot then i think it’s great to save yourself some time and use this.

As a secure identity platform, Clear uses member data, including fingerprint and iris scans, to automate most users' identity-verification step in the U.S. Transportation Security Administration screening process. Clear members go through a separate security lane with dedicated kiosks rather than waiting in line for a TSA agent to review their license or passport. Clear requires passengers to first complete identity verification in a separate Clear lane by submitting to biometric authentication (a fingerprint or iris scan) at a kiosk. This previously replaced the step of using a TSA agent to inspect government IDs and check boarding passes. However, the TSA is now requiring randomly selected Clear users to verify their identity as all other registered travelers do by showing an ID.

Additionally, Reserve powered by Clear — which allows travelers to book timed entry through TSA security based on flight departure — is currently available at 18 airports across the U.S., Canada, and Europe, with more locations coming soon.

Overall, it’s only worth it if you travel a lot. People who travel once or twice a year should stick to regular lines because this is a little bit expensive. Personally I enjoyed it even though i still had to walk a lot to get to the main line. It’s worth it and it saves your time!
