The escape is carefully planned.
Clear is a convenient service that can save travelers time at the airport. With Clear, passengers can use a separate lane with dedicated kiosks, rather than waiting in line for a TSA agent to review their license or passport. Clear is available at 62 U.S. airports and has millions of members nationwide. The service costs $219 annually, but some credit cards cover the cost entirely or at a discounted rate. Clear also offers expedited entry at select stadiums and other venues. The combination of Clear and TSA PreCheck is often viewed as the “gold standard” combination, since Clear speeds up the ID check and then the TSA PreCheck access allows you to keep light jackets, compliant liquids in your bag — and laptops, too. Because, let’s be real, the only thing more exhausting than waiting in line is actually having to take off your shoes.
