Over the last few years I have taken quite the number of flights and been to a variety of airports in the US. One thing that I always fear at airports is the security lines. Sometimes the lines are a short wait but there are many days and times when the lines are LONG and I wish I could just skip the security line altogether and head straight to my gate.
Luckily there is CLEAR, a handy NEW service that allows those that travel the ability to SAVE some precious time by being able to SKIP the airport line…
CLEAR is a membership-based service that allows you to enjoy travel more by reducing the time that you spend at the airport trying to get to your destination. You will be able to save time by skipping the security line, heading straight to screening, getting to that gate even faster. That extra time you would have waited in line you can spend doing something else, like maybe enjoying an extra hour with the family or friends that you may be visiting.
What Does CLEAR Cost?
A CLEAR membership will cost you $179 annually or about $15 per month. With your membership you have the ability to add a spouse to the account for only $50 and your kids that are under 18 are FREE as long as they are traveling with a CLEAR member.
How Do I Signup for CLEAR?
- Sign up online or at any of the enrollment centers. You must be at least 18 to sign up for a membership.
- Register your membership in person so that you can verify your id and have your fingerprints and iris image captured.
- Wait for your CLEAR membership card to arrive via snail mail. As soon as you receive it you are ready to use it on your next flight.
What Airports Will You Find CLEAR?
You can currently use your CLEAR membership in 11 major airports with more opening very soon. The current airports with CLEAR lanes are: San Francisco (SFO), San Jose (SJC), Las Vegas (LAS), Denver (DEN), Houston (IAH & HOU), San Antonio (SAT), Dallas (DFW), Orlando (MCO), Baltimore (BWI), Westchester (HPN), and Miami (MIA) coming soon.
Where Else Can I Use CLEAR?
CLEAR is now also expanding into select Major League Baseball parks around the country which means you can get into those games even faster with an expedited security screening process with the tap of a finger. CLEAR has started at AT&T Park in San Francisco with plans for more areas coming soon!

If you fly, do you think the CLEAR membership would be handy?
If I traveled a lot I would get this service because it really saves a lot of time, and no waiting in lines! I think it is also great that kids under 18 are free and it is only $50 to add a spouse.
I think this is great for people who travel a lot and well worth it to reduce wait time and the stress of it all at the airport. My sister could use this for sure.
That sounds perfect for people who travel a lot. I love that kids are free 🙂
We travel often and are not fans of standing in long lines, especially since we have the kids with us! This is a neat idea!
We don’t fly enough to actually validate the yearly expense of this, especially since it’s not in our local airport but I love the concept.
CLEAR sounds great! Flying is stressful enough on me already. Skipping all those lines would definitely help reduce the stress level.
This is so super-awesome. I was just looking at the CLEAR lane at the San Antonio Air Port last time I was there. Thanks for the info
This is fantastic! I am all for skipping lines at the airport. It is one of the unpleasant things of traveling.
What a wonderful service for people who travel a lot. I think it is great that you can add a spouse for just $50.
This seems like an amazing service! Such a time saver, I travel a lot and I will have to check into this.
This sounds great for those that travel a lot. I’ve never even been on a plane but I’ve always wanted to. I wish I could travel a lot though. I’ll make sure to let those know that travel a lot about this!
My airport might be too big to do something like this. Hopefully, eventually it will become an option here too
what a clever idea! anything to speed up the wait at the airport. i have three small kids and they don’t want to wait.
I have not heard of this before!! With how much I travel for work this would come in handy I hate airport lines!
I very rarely fly but absolutely despise waiting in lines and dealing with the insane crowds. This service is even available here in my home airport.
I travel pretty often so this sounds convenient. The airport process got old super fast!
A way to spend less time in line at the airport? Sounds like heaven! If I was traveling a lot this year I would totally look into this.
I am not traveling this year but if I were I would totally look into this. Skipping the line sounds like a dream.
This sounds like a fantastic way to make travelling faster. I will have to check this out for the summer. I am planning on doing a lot of travelling.
I used to travel weekly for work, this would have been awesome! What a great idea.
That is really great for the busy traveler! I don’t see my airport on that list, but hopefully it will be soon! I hate long lines!
That is a great program for someone who is a frequent flyer! I would love to have the ability to skip the lines at the airport!
I don’t travel a lot, but even I can see that this would be a real lifesaver!
This is very nice. I would love to be able to save that extra time. I hope it comes to my airport soon.
What are the behind the scenes on this? Do they do a limited background check?
Interesting. Would make access to places and service much easier.
This is actually really cool! I would do anything “legal” to skip the long, tedious lines!
WOW, anything to skip the line I will do. Thanks for the info!
this looks really cool, i haven’t heard of this before. I will have to check into it more.
I love how kids are free, will have to look into this more. Very cool.
