CLEAR membership now integrates with TSA PreCheck at most major airports, creating the fastest possible path through security checkpoints.
Members using both services report average wait times under 5 minutes even during peak travel periods. The combination costs around $290 annually.
How It Works
CLEAR verifies your identity using fingerprints or eye scans. You skip the document check line entirely and proceed directly to the PreCheck screening lane.
Without PreCheck, CLEAR members still join standard screening but avoid the longest identity verification queues.
Coverage Gaps
CLEAR operates at 50+ airports but lacks presence at many regional hubs. PreCheck alone works at virtually every US airport with TSA screening.
Check CLEAR locations before purchasing. The service provides minimal benefit if your home airport lacks coverage.
Worth the Cost?
Frequent flyers traveling weekly find value in both services. Occasional travelers do fine with PreCheck alone at $78 for five years.
Family pricing reduces CLEAR costs significantly. Adding household members runs $60 each after the primary membership.
