Instead of using traditional ID documents, CLEAR uses biometrics - your eyes and face - to confirm it’s really you. CLEAR transforms the data from your irises and fingerprints into an encrypted code. CLEAR transforms unique attributes, like eyes and face, into a single touchless ID . They match your fingerprints and irises to your unique code every time you check in.

CLEAR is only in the US and only at about 50 or so locations across the entire country. To us, the $180 per year does not seem worth the price of hoping they'll be at your next location , MAYBE saving you a little time at an airport, MAYBE not having to pull out your ID and possibly not having a touchless experience since you might have to fingerprint.   We say: instead, always arrive at LEAST an hour before your flight. 98% of the time this has been plenty of time to stand in long lines and check bags and go through long security lines without missing our flight and pocket that money. Save it for your next adventure, or use it for your next flight, hotel room,  or your weekly groceries. You'll always be waiting when you travel. If not at the check in counter or security lines, then at the gate. You have to wait in line for tickets to your favorite shows or to get into the show or for the show to start. No. we don't want to spend our hard earned vacation budget on "Waiting." We don't want to spend our time waiting. With proper planning, you can minimize wait times at the airport, and for everything you want to do.  Figure out the slow days and times at the airport and book flights accordingly. Pack your bag correctly so you avoid overweight allowances and can quickly have everything you need at your fingertips when you need them.  There are a ton of time saving things you can do in advance in order to maximize your travel time.  Either way, waiting or planning - they both take up part of your time. It's just how travel is.  Even if a travel agent does everything for you, and someone packs all your bags for you, getting to and from your destination takes time. It's part of the experience and part of the journey. You actually might meet someone cool standing in line next to you some day.   SO- enjoy the journey! That's part of the trip as well! And when you just can't tolerate that extra 5 minutes waiting in line, use that time wisely and plan your next trip.

You must have your REAL ID to enroll with Clear.
Those with TSA PreCheck can also enjoy CLEAR to speed even faster through the full airport security and screening process. If you a
