curious about how CLEAR works
score:12
-3. First, you should know that Clear is only available at around 17 airports around the country. They're also available at some sports stadiums but the utility of that is ... (wait for it)... unclear.
-2. Clear costs $180/year so is that really worth it? For businesspeople who fly once a week, saving 10 minutes / trip will add up. But otherwise it's not worth it for most people. Getting TSA Pre (or Global Entry/Nexus) will usually save you more time and hassle. See Does CLEAR allow you to avoid the full body scanner?
-1. Clear is best in combination with TSA Pre (or GlobalEntry/Nexus) as Clear doesn't allow you to skip the internal line past the initial checkpoint plus you'd have to remove your shoes and take out your laptop and get Rapiscanned unless you also had TSA Pre.
Same-day signup for Clear is possible but it takes time to register and you might as well just go into the regular line. You'll maybe save time on the return flight with it though.
It's pretty ... (wait for it) ... clear that Clear is only available at certain terminals at certain airports and only at certain times. See image below for La Guardia, the only New York city area airport that has it. They close at 7:30 for TSA-Pre eligible folks and 10pm for the rabble.
You could bring a bunch of promo codes with you to register in person but you wouldn't know if the promo codes are valid.
Clear really isn't worth it unless you're travelling every week. If you only travel once a year, don't bother unless skipping a 15-30 minute line is really worth $180 to you.
